Italy's CBD Twist: A Step Back Amidst Booming Global Green Gold?
Portfolio Pulse from Joana Scopel
The Italian government has reclassified cannabidiol (CBD) as a narcotic, diverging from the European Commission's stance that CBD should not be classified as such. This move has been opposed by key industry stakeholders, warning of potential negative impacts on businesses and the local CBD market. Despite these changes, Italy's medical cannabis market continues to source cannabis primarily from the Netherlands, Canada, Denmark, and Germany, with Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NASDAQ:ACB) among the top suppliers since 2019.
