Curaleaf International's (OTCQX:CURLF) Medalchemy, GMP certified manufacturing site in Alicante, Spain has received approval from the Spanish Health Authorities to begin operating out of its newly built extract manufacturing site and microbiological testing laboratory.
This approval coincides with the news that the sub-commission of the Spanish Congress in charge of cannabis has given the green light for the implementation of a domestic medical cannabis program, recommending doctors and patients be given access to cannabis-based extracts, oils and magistral preparations. This represents an important step for Spain where the cultivation, production and manufacturing of cannabis and cannabis products is currently allowed, but for exportation purposes only.
