One of Europe’s crop of cannabis companies was valued at 150 million pounds ($190 million) in its most recent funding round, reflecting rising industry growth as well as investor appetite, despite a murky regulatory picture.

London-based EMMAC Life Sciences Ltd. raised 15 million pounds through a convertible loan note, pitched at a conversion price of 50 pence per share, it said in a press release viewed by Bloomberg News. It didn’t disclose the names of any investors.
