Maybe the announcement about France legalizing has something to do with it. EDXC
SAN DIEGO, June 10, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) is pleased to inform shareholders and the general public of an announcement made in France on Friday, June 7, 2013 where the country of France intends to fully legalize medicinal cannabis.

The announcement from the French Government should create waves throughout Europe and the rest of the world: France, one of the most repressive countries in Europe in regard to cannabis, has just legalized the medicinal use of the substance! Before officially celebrating this historical event we will however have to wait for the sanctioned publication of this French decree.

On Friday 7th of June 2013, Decree n° 2013-473 of June 5th 2013 was published, modifying the dispositions of former article R. 5132-86 of the French Public Health Code related to the prohibition of operations linked to cannabis and its derivatives. Basically, the former article R. 5132-86 prohibited all non-industrial use of the cannabis plant. Exemptions to this needed to be granted by the General Director of the National Security Agency for Medicines and Health Products, which very rarely happened.

The implementation of the law is left as the responsibility of the Minister of Social Affairs and Health: Marisol Touraine, who will be ratifying the decree in the coming weeks. It is therefore not yet possible to determine the exact consequences of this decree for French patients who could soon enjoy the benefits of legalized therapeutic cannabis.
