Colombia’s first legal farmers’ co-operative begins medical marijuana production
written by Thomas Smiley August 3, 2016
Dozens of marijuana growers in one of Colombia’s most war-torn regions have formed the country’s first legal medical marijuana cooperative.
Justice Minister Jorge Eduardo Londoño announced “Caucannabis” during a presentation while visiting the farmers in the southwestern Cauca province, reported local news website eje21.
The province currently produces more than half of Colombia’s illegal marijuana, but a legal framework is being set up that will allow the farmers’ co-op to provide marijuana for medical purposes.
Colombia recently legalized the production of medical marijuana and government plans include the granting of licenses to pharmaceutical companies to process, cultivate, and export Colombian marijuana.
