Cannabis Giant Curaleaf Expands In This European Country Via New Acquisition

Curaleaf International has acquired Can4Med, a pharmaceutical wholesaler specialising in cannabinoid medications, to expand its operations in Poland. The deal will also improve patient access to medical cannabis products across Europe. Poland's National Agricultural Support Center implemented rules last year that increased the THC level permitted in industrial hemp from 0.2% to 0.3%, facilitating a more streamlined permitting process for farmers and buyers. In August 2022, Curaleaf International registered its extract-based medicines in Poland through a partnership with local firm CanPoland. Last year, Poland saw a significant increase in the adoption of medical cannabis, with over 3,000 kg distributed. Curaleaf CEO Matt Darin called the acquisition a "significant step forward" for his company, as Poland's medical cannabis market expands rapidly.

NBA Legend Isiah Thomas Says Colombia’s ‘Regulatory And Political Hurdles’ Are Not Affecting His Cannabis Business

The legalization of marijuana in Colombia has been delayed after the Senate members put a halt to its implementation. The decision is expected to prompt lawmakers to start the legislative process again if they wish to continue with the proposed reforms to legalize cannabis. However, the lack of regulatory changes in marijuana laws is not affecting One World Products' operations or business prospects. The company recently agreed a deal to manufacture the Smokiez Gummies for distribution in the US, Europe and South America. It also signed an agreement with Kx Family Care to produce and distribute its CBD-enriched product range in Colombia and other Latin American countries. One World said both agreements are on track and will undergo production and commercialization soon. Further attempts will be made to legalize marijuana in Colombia within the next six months.
