Costs to patients will be significantly lower than the current imports
Domestically made marijuana will be available on the Czech market as of February.
It is not the first that will be available, but should be cheaper than the currently available supply imported from the Netherlands.
The first batch of 10 kilograms is currently being processed by the firm Elkoplast, which is also involved in waste management, maintenance and gardening. In total 40 kilograms should be delivered.
The company got the contract in October and has already grown the cannabis, which is now being processed and will be tested for its content.
Medical marijuana has to fall within certain standards and is grown organically without chemicals such as pesticides.
The Elkoplast cannabis has 22 percent THC and less than 1 percent CBD.
Patients need a doctor's prescription to get the marijuana. It has been available medically since April 2013 for cancer, multiple sclerosis and HIV / AIDS patients.
The imported marijuana goes for about Kč 300 per gram and the domestic variety will be about Kč 68 per gram.
Pharmacies can order it from a central state-run warehouse.
Medical cannabis in the Czech Republic is controlled and licensed by the State Agency for Medical Cannabis (SAKL), which reports to both the Ministry of Health and the Czech Police.
