Colombia seeks diplomatic and commercial relations with all countries,
regardless of their ideologies or political or economic systems. For this reason, the Colombian economy is quite open, relying on international trade and following the guidelines given by international law. Since 2008, Colombia's Ministry of Trade and Commerce has either reached or strengthened Bilateral Trade Agreements with South Korea,Japan and China building stronger commerce interchange and development in the Pacific Rim. And while joint-military collaboration has steadily increased with the bordering countries of Brazil, Panama, Peru, and Venezuela, there have been tensions between Colombia and Ecuador. (Ecuador has now diplomatic relationships with Colombia)
Colombias new decree would open the door for the production and commercialization of dozens of medicinal cannabis products including oils, pills
and ointments. Provisions even allow the exportation of marijuana products to
countries in which cannabis is legal. That could prove lucrative for some Colombian businesses. In the United States, where medical pot is legal in roughly half of all states, medical marijuana products generated an impressive $2.7 billion in sales in 2014. Thats slightly larger than Colombias annual coffee exports. In Canada, farmers who grow marijuana for pharmaceutical companies can make millions of dollars per year in what has become a highly competitive industry. Meanwhile, Colombias national Congress has been debating a measure that would allow the total legalization of cannabis, which could potentially allow for its further commercialization. Its still unclear how Thursdays decree might affect the bill in Congress. But if either piece of legislation becomes law, marijuana could soon be a big and legal business in Colombia. http://thecitypaperbogota.com/business/how-medical-marijuana-could-be-biglegal-business-in-colombia/10462
Health Minister Alejandro Gaviria stated he is working on a decree to allow for
the commercialization of medical cannabis products that would legalize the elaboration and sale of phytotherapeutic products or herbal medicines that contain cannabis. "The decree is about creating the possibility to form an Agro business that sells legal marijuana products, for example ointments, creams and oils..." stated the Minister. He went on to comment that some of these products are already legally being sold. New Colombia Resource's subsidiary, Sannabis SAS, has been legally producing medicines on the TOEZ Indian reservation for two years. This site in Norte del Cauca has ideal growing conditions and is home to some of the most sought after strains in the World. Sannabis is securing their market share for medical marijuana products by working directly with indigenous families, insuring their ability to organically produce clones of Sannabis strains, and guaranteeing the purchase of their crop every quarter. Sannabis then manufactures and packages the products on the reservation. A state of the art laboratory built to INVIMA standards is nearing completion. This lab will process hundreds of pounds of medical cannabis per day. Sannabis currently operates at gross profit margins between 250% to over 2000% on their products. These profits are reinvested in securing high quality standards for their medicines and new distribution channels. "We have been promoting and investing in Colombia's legal medical marijuana products market for some time and believe we will grow significantly once our state of the art laboratory is completed next month. Colombia's administration
should be recognized on their forward thinking and courage to right a wrong
that has plagued this country for too long," said John Campo, President of New Colombia Resources. "We aim to make 'Made in Colombia' medical marijuana and hemp products the gold standard," further stated Mr. Campo. In addition to medical marijuana products, New Colombia intends to plant hundreds of hectares of industrial hemp to cost effectively produce bio-diesel with extractors near production zones. http://money.cnn.com/news/newsfeeds/articles/marketwire/1225489.htm
