Six years after the United Kingdom legalized medical marijuana, families struggling to obtain life-saving medicine through the National Health Service (NHS) returned to Westminster on Tuesday, demanding change. They displayed photos of their loved ones who experienced significant improvement with medical marijuana, <a href="https://businessofcannabis.com/parents-of-children-with-epilepsy-demand-urgent-nhs-reform-for-cannabis-access/">reports</a> the Business of Cannabis.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">NHS Is Failing Patients</h2>
Parents of children suffering from treatment-resistant epilepsy say their children have achieved seizure freedom with medical marijuana, thanks to cannabis' effectiveness compared as to conventional treatments.
Those gathered at Westminster criticizes the lack of NHS prescriptions, especially for children with epilepsy. Only about 50 children have access to private prescriptions due to the limited availability of pediatric neurologists willing to prescribe. Campaigners argued that the NHS is failing patients and called for a change.
"When prescription cannabis was legalized six years ago, this was not the situation that patients were promised or expected," said co-chairs of the Cannabis Industry Council, Dr Callie Seaman and Jamie Bartley. "It's time for the NHS to take action to expand public funding of cannabis medicines. A clear pathway should be established for patients to access prescriptions via the NHS, while private prescriptions could also be reimbursed by the public purse."
A Department of Health and Social Care spokesperson said: "Licensed cannabis-based medicines are routinely funded by the NHS where there is clear evidence of their quality, safety, and effectiveness. The NHS is taking an evidence-based approach to unlicensed cannabis-based treatments to ensure they are proved safe and effective before they can be considered for roll out more widely."
The need for cannabis as medicine in the U.K. was first highlighted by two cases involving children with severe epilepsy: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/22/12/30175937/only-cannabis-stops-harrys-constant-seizures-says-mom-he-gets-it-for-free-thanks-to-i-am-billy-c">Billy Caldwell</a> and Alfie Dingley who were both using cannabis low-dose THC oil to treat their seizures.
While it is possible to access medical marijuana through the NHS, this rarely occurs and only in severe cases of epilepsy, chemotherapy-induced nausea or certain cases of muscle stiffness associated with MS. Since medical marijuana is not widely available through the NHS, many families struggle to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/10/35388605/europes-high-uk-parents-need-nhs-help-for-daughters-seizures-thc-mmj-flowers-in-switzerland-more" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">afford life-saving medicine</a> for their children.

Per a report, new figures show the lack of prescribing of both unlicensed and licensed medical marijuana medicines, such as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/epidiolex">Epidiolex</a> and Sativex in the NHS. According to the NHS Business Service Authority, ‘fewer than five' patients have an NHS prescription for unlicensed cannabis medicines, while the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/10/41431474/as-uk-medical-marijuana-market-booms-cannabis-clinics-receive-good-practice-guide">private sectors booms</a> with more than 35,000 medical cannabis patients.
Epidiolex is the only FDA-approved prescription CBD treatment for severe forms of epilepsy. It was developed and produced by GW Pharmaceuticals, which was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/21/05/20989747/jazz-pharmaceuticals-closes-on-acquisition-of-gw-pharma-adds-cbd-drug-epidiolex-to-portfolio" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">acquired by</a> Jazz Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JAZZ#NASDAQ">JAZZ</a>) in 2021. Epidiolex was first approved for treating seizures connected to Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and Dravet syndrome.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">KARS ETF Drives Up A Golden Cross</h2>
With a share price of $23.30, KARS is in the sweet spot for technical analysts. The 50-day simple moving average (SMA) has crossed over the 200-day SMA, triggering the Golden Cross. The ETF's eight-day SMA is at $22.52, the 20-day at $22.17 and the 50-day at $21.35. All these indicators show bullish signals, reinforcing the bullish sentiment surrounding the ETF.
It's currently trading at a price above its 200-day SMA of $21.08, further solidifying the case for upside potential.
The ETF is up 5% over the past five days and its 52-week high of $26.10 is well within reach. Despite a year-to-date decline of 7.32%, the recent uptick signals that KARS may be bouncing back, driven largely by the outperformance of its key holdings.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">KARS Top Holdings Driving The Charge</h2>
KraneShares' KARS ETF is led by major EV players. BYD, the Chinese electric vehicle titan, is its top holding, making up 4.15% of the fund. Tesla (TSLA), a staple in the EV world, follows closely behind at 4.13%, while Geely, Xpeng and Li Auto continue to support the ETF's forward momentum. 
Tesla and BYD have been standouts this year, with BYD up 36.61% year-to-date and Tesla climbing 19.52%. 
Meanwhile, Li Auto has faced some struggles, down 25.96% this year, but the market is still hungry for electric vehicle exposure.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Bullish Outlook, But Some Caution</h2>
While the Golden Cross signals bullish movement, KARS&#8217; Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently at 58.9, suggesting the ETF is nearing overbought territory. With a MACD indicator of 0.33, there's still potential for more upside, but cautious optimism remains prudent as the market watches for any signs of cooling.

<h3>The Impact of Insider Transactions on Investments</h3>
While insider transactions should not be the sole basis for making investment decisions, they can play a significant role in an investor's decision-making process.
Considering the legal perspective, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, according to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are mandated to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Pointing towards optimism, a company insider's new purchase signals their positive anticipation for the stock to rise.
Nevertheless, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be influenced by various factors.
<h3>Essential Transaction Codes Unveiled</h3>
Delving into transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> typically prioritize those unfolding in the open market, as precisely outlined in Table I of the Form 4 filing.
