About us

THE CANNA CONSULTANTS

The Canna Consultants is a business facilitation consultancy dedicated to the service of the Cannabinoid industry, formed following the identification of an absolute need for those within the industry to have easy and simplified access to the necessary range of professionals, each with years of regulatory, scientific and trade experience behind them to provide the best advice and assistance to further your business.

This need is made all the more necessary given the wholly uncertain, ill-defined and confusing position created by the interpretation (and mis-interpretation), of the Novel Food Regulations and the MHRA position.

The founders of The Canna Consultants have a wealth of business and legal experience – both practical, through 24 years as a Regulatory Barrister, and academic, as a University Law Lecturer. Coupled with this they have direct experience in the “green rush”, including the traceability of Cannabinoid products via seed to shelf product placement and E.U retail sales of Cannabinoid products (both internal within the E.U. and from out to in).

The benefits of this combination of skills and experience to clients of The Canna Consultants cannot be emphasised too strongly.

ACCESS TO PROFESSIONALS

In order to satisfy the inherent cross-disciplinary needs of clients The Canna Consultants is able to facilitate access to the following services to be provided by accredited/regulated professionals:

A written Opinion addressing the Regulatory position of your business from a self-employed barrister in independent practice, without the need for the instruction of a solicitor, with the delay and duplication of costs that that “traditional” structure inevitably entails.

The barrister will be acting in their capacity as an independent professional regulated by the Bar Standards Board, as a result of which you will be afforded all of the protections which flow from that position;

The testing and assessment of the “base Cannabinoid material” which is utilised in the manufacture of end products; and,
The testing and assessment of retail end-products.
