Colombia Opens Pharmacy Doors to Medicinal Cannabis Sales for First Time

Colombia has legalized the sale of dried cannabis flowers for medical and veterinary use, marking a significant step in the countrys approach to cannabis (drug) regulation.

• The Colombian government officially signed decree 1138 on Monday, allowing pharmacies to sell dried cannabis (drug) as a finished product for medical prescriptions.
• This decision expands the existing legal framework for cannabis (drug) use, which previously only permitted non-psychoactive derivatives for therapeutic applications.
• Under the new regulation, pharmacies in Colombia can dispense cannabis (drug) products under a medical prescription, potentially benefiting patients requiring alternative treatments.
