Welcome to Waterside Pharmaceuticals
Waterside Pharmaceuticals is a UK-based life sciences and agriculture company based in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, focused on the cultivation, importation and distribution of high-quality medicinal cannabis.
We combine pharmaceutical standards with innovative and sustainable practices to ensure consistent, traceable and patient-safe products, from cultivation through to final supply. Our fully indoor facility is built for total environmental control and automation, with operations designed to meet the highest standards of quality, compliance and care.
Redefining Medicinal Cannabis
Waterside Pharmaceuticals brings together pharmaceutical-grade precision and next-generation vertical farming to cultivate consistent cannabis plants to be used as a starter material for final product medicines in a fully indoor facility based in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
Our Total Controlled Environment Agriculture (TCEA) system allows us to finely regulate lighting, climate, irrigation, and nutrition, delivering stable cannabinoid and terpene profiles, batch after batch.
We operate to GACP and GDP standards but apply GMP principles throughout our cultivation activities with the aim of becoming GMP certified in the next year or two.
By growing locally, we aim to reduce the UK's dependence on imports, supporting a more secure, high-quality supply of medical cannabis for patients across the country.
