Report: U.K.'s first cannabis pharmacy to open its doors

LONDON — Carun UK, the U.K.’s first cannabis pharmacy, is planning to open to the public on Friday, according to a report in the Mirror.



The pharmacy, situated in south London, will offer a range of health and beauty products using the “healing powers” of hemp. The products, however, do not contain enough “high chemicals” to make you high, according to the article.



Carun products include Virgin Hemp Oil, which, according to the company's web site, has a large range of health benefits and is the ideal replacement for traditional cooking oils.  The long-term benefits of virgin hemp oil includes strengthening of the nails, skin and hair. Virgin hemp oil has also been seen to have a positive effect on metabolism and immune system.



There’s also Hemp Seed, which, promotes a healthy metabolism when taken as part of a healthy balanced diet. According to the company, Carun hemp seeds also promote healthy lactation for nursing mothers, and can increase the amount of gamma-Linolenic acid in breast milk.



In addition, there’s Hemp bio syrup, which, according to the company, is suitable for adults and children with respiratory problems, cough and cold.
