In 'stand by', legal trade of cannabinoids here
The operations are delayed because the use of certain items was authorized but not their distribution.
The cannabis products industry is experiencing a “stand by” process in this city, due to the process that the federal authorities have carried out regarding the issue, according to expert opinions.
Pablo Durán, director of The Clinic in Ciudad Juarez, explains that the sale of cannabis-derived products registers an increase in sales but in the informal market, since legally, operations have been delayed due to the authorization of the use of certain items, but not their distribution.
“The industry was stopped because the permits granted were delivered two weeks before leaving the last administration, so now a complete review of the establishments and products had to be done,” he said.
He said that for Ciudad Juarez, the industry of this type of products can pay in an attractive economic spill, because the state of Texas would be one of the last to completely legalize the use of cannabis derivatives.
He also commented that next Thursday there will be a meeting with Senators of the Republic to address the issue of regulations for derivative products.
"Right now we have about 1,800 procedures waiting for the Cofepris to give its authorization to return the permission to market again," he said.
Last Thursday, the Federal Commission for Protection against Health Risks (Cofepris) authorized the company CBD Life to market about 21 products in Mexico, including Mariguanol.
It is important to mention that last March the Cofepris revoked 38 permits that were granted to different companies to import products with cannabidiol.
