The British Medical Association (BMA) has requested the legalization of medicines from hemp derivatives through a report. These derivatives are very useful to facilitate the treatment of cancer, anorexia and epilepsy, among others.

It has also been requested that research establish ways to facilitate the use of these substances for their convenience. In fact, in the UK it is necessary to request special authorizations for the study and research of cannabinoids.

A request to the World Health Organization is also addressed in the same report: Eliminate some cannabinoids from the list of psychotropic substances agreed by the United Nations Drug Committee.
