Scientists plan to put Jersey on the map with proposed new medicinal cannabis research centre

A medicinal cannabis company has applied for planning permission to grow crops in St Mary.

The plans include an area at Le Pepiniere Farm where the company would grow a medicinal cannabis for research purposes.

The plans would replace two old agricultural buildings with a modern one which will be fitted out to grow medicinal cannabis.

The crops will ultimately become human medicine and could lead to some local trials with patients in future
