Hi Teddyward, how come Auscann was never granted and/or never announced having been granted a medical cannabis research Licence? It was awarded a licence to cultivate medicinal cannabis in Australia in May 2017 after re-listing in February.
There must be shortcuts in dealing with procedure with these sort of applications. Not every step has to be done in that order.
If I am wrong than please indicate to me when and where did Auscann got their ( prerequisite ) research licence....??
