                       Changes to Non-Executive Directors

GW Pharmaceuticals today announces the appointment of Mr David Morrison as a
non-executive director with immediate effect. Mr Morrison replaces Mr Peter
Mountford, who today resigns as a non-executive director.

David Morrison is Chief Executive of Prospect Investment Management, an

Limited. David is also a non-executive director of a large number of public and
private companies, including Paypoint plc, Venture Production plc, BlueHeath
Holdings plc, MessageLabs Group Ltd, MGT plc, Standard Life Equity Investment
Trust plc and UK Specialist Hospitals Ltd.

Dr Geoffrey Guy, Executive Chairman of GW, said: "We are delighted to welcome
David to the Board of GW. David is a valued advisor to, and investor in, a range
of public and private companies and his expertise is ideally suited to GW as it
embarks on the next phase of its growth."

Commenting on the resignation of Peter Mountford, Dr Guy, said, "Peter has been
a non-executive director of GW for five years. Peter's extensive experience as
an investor in and advisor to emerging companies was instrumental in helping us
to successfully float on the AIM market in June 2001 and he has continued to be
a valuable member of the Board since that time. Everyone at GW joins me in
thanking Peter and wishing him all the best and continued success in his other
business ventures."

Peter Mountford owns warrants to subscribe for up to 51,765 ordinary shares in
the capital of the Company which originally expired on 14 January 2006. The
Board has agreed to extend the exercise period such that the warrants may be
exercised at any time on or before 14 January 2008.
