Couldn't Resist
When you’re putting together a weekly newsletter, some pieces just fall into place. For any writers out there, if you start articles with titles like “Huge rise in stoned dogs…” it’s gunna make its way in here pretty quickly. Not great for the pooches though – NY could do with figuring it out.

Isle of Can

Same Problem, Different Continent

Lesotho’s cannabis market was supposed to be a huge boon for farmers as a cash crop that some of them already grow illicitly. Unfortunately, like countries in every corner of the world, actually getting a license costs a lot of money and even more time. It’s a model we see fail people everywhere.

Actually Pretty Handy

The UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) might not be a ‘cool’ organisation, but they are key when it comes to the progress of cannabis companies in the UK. This week they released some detailed guidelines to begin producing cannabis-based medicinal products and APIs. Cheers guys(!).

You're Not On The List 

While Lesthoso might be stalling in its cannabis endeavours, we’ve seen good moves from Zimbabwe this week as it removes hemp from its list of dangerous drugs and sets the limit at 1%. With many nations opting for 0.2% or 0.3% this straight up makes cannabis product producers more competitive.
