The cannabis industry is advancing quickly in Panama, a country located on the isthmus between Central and South America. In October 2021, Panamanian president Laurentino Cortizo sanctioned a bill that regulates the controlled use of medicinal cannabis and its derivatives for therapeutic, medical, veterinary, and scientific purposes. Panama then became the first country in Central America to legislate the medicinal use of marijuana.
