Now, a decision is to be made on whether it can be grown in Denmark.<\/p>\n<p>A total of 13 companies have already applied for permission from the medicines authority, L\u00e6gemiddelstyrelsen, to grow cannabis, despite Parliament not yet approving it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe talk a lot about it being a costly affair, but by growing cannabis in Denmark we can foster a competition that will bring down the price,\u201d Liselott Brix, the spokesperson for Dansk Folkeparti regarding health issues, told DR Nyheder.<\/p>\n<p><b>Bringing down the cost<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Initially, the legalization of medicinal cannabis in Denmark will be a four-year trial, and 22 million kroner has been set aside for the project. After the trial it will be decided whether to make it permanent.<\/p>\n<p>One of the companies that has applied to grow medicinal cannabis is Danish Cannabis, which is located in Djursland. Ultimately, the aim is to bring down the price by adding to the market.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday, it costs 2,000 to 6,000 kroner per patient per month to be prescribed medicinal cannabis, and we have a goal to at last halve that,\u201d Lars Tomassen, the head of Danish Cannabis, told DR Nyheder.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course we want to make some money, but if we can help develop public medication out of a 4,000-year-old product, then I\u2019ve made some kind of difference on this earth. So if god, L\u00e6gemiddelstyrelsen, the mayor and the rest of the politicians want, we will be ready after the summer of 2018.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/denmark-danish-companies-gearing-up-for-cannabis-farming.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>News Moderator: Ron Strider <a href=\"http:\/\/www.420magazine.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">420 MAGAZINE \u00ae<\/a><br \/>\nFull Article: <a href=\"http:\/\/cphpost.dk\/news\/danish-companies-gearing-up-for-cannabis-farming.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Danish companies gearing up for cannabis farming \u2013 The Post<\/a><br \/>\nAuthor: Christian W<br \/>\nContact: <a href=\"http:\/\/cphpost.dk\/the-post\/about-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">About Us \u2013 The Post<\/a><br \/>\nPhoto Credit: Pixabay<br \/>\nWebsite: <a href=\"http:\/\/cphpost.dk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Post \u2013 The Copenhagen Post \u2013 Danish news in English<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As of 1 January 2018 it will be possible to obtain a receipt for medicinal cannabis, thanks to a broadly-supported&#8230; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.420magazine.com\/2017\/10\/denmark-danish-companies-gearing-cannabis-farming\/\" class=\"read-more\">[Read More]<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1616,9,1,3],"tags":[4184],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7825"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7825"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7825\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7825"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7825"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7825"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
