Dutch supplier Bedrocan has become the world’s first producer of medicinal cannabis to be compliant with the European Medicines Agency’s good manufacturing practice (GMP) standards.

This milestone, which follows a rigorous inspection by the Dutch Health Care Inspectorate, marks the first time a medicinal cannabis producer has reached such a level of compliance, the highest standard a medicine manufacturer can meet in its production process.

Tjalling Erkelens, chairman of Bedrocan International, said: “This is a significant recognition. We have always aimed to meet the highest pharmaceutical standards. Now our way of working is officially recognized by the authorities.”
