Hello friends of CannaVigilance,
This week’s newsletter is a smorgasbord jumping between continents and subjects – Africa, Europe and of course Southeast Asia. We kick off in Lesotho before delving into the latest updates on cannabis legislation in Europe. As convention and expo season is in full force, we provide a reminder of the upcoming trade shows we’ll be attending. In terms of news, we have a look at the problems in North Macedonia and the effect that THC has on worms (strictly for scientific research purposes). Happy reading.
