The largest quantity of medicinal cannabis ever transported within the EU has been imported from Portugal to Germany.
Cannabis distributor, Cannamedical® Pharma GmbH, oversaw the logistics and once packaging of the medicinal cannabis is complete, the imported product is expected to be available to German patients in October.
The product has the potential to be supplied to roughly 2,500 pharmacies and clinical facilities.
“The European market is clearly developing its ability to grow and ship world-class medicinal cannabis products, which is an important step in the development of the EU medicinal cannabis market, which we believe will be the world’s largest,” says David Henn, CEO of Cannamedical. “We are proud of the contribution we are making to provide a stable supply of medicinal cannabis to patients in Germany and thankful for our world-class supply partners.”
