The government of Argentina created a technology company that aims to boost the medical cannabis and industrial hemp industry. The technology-based public company, the ‘Cannabis Conicet’, will operate under the direction of leading scientific researchers at the Arturo Jauretche National University (UNAJ) and the "El Cruce" High Complexity Hospital.
Ana Franchi, president of the new company said in a statement: “This commits us to have a state that guarantees, not represses, the use of cannabis, and intervenes in public health and in this line, also in production."
