The Minister of Development and Investments, Mr. Adonis Georgiadis,after thanking all the executives of the Ministry of Development for the hard work they have done regarding the investments in medical cannabis, stressed: "Today is a historic day not only for Europe and the investment in Korinthos, but because today we pave the way for something that did not exist in Greece. A way to provide Greek patients with pharmaceutical cannabis products. But also a way for a product that we will be able to export throughout Europe, because this unit has the ability to make huge exports to all the major countries of Europe and so Greece will play a leading role in the coming years, spearheaded by this factory and the other factories that will come and work on what is called medical cannabis."
Moreover, the Deputy Minister of Research and Technology Christos Dimas σημείωσε: «An important day today for Korinthos, for Greece but especially for those patients who will benefit from the healing properties of medical cannabis.

I would like to point out that despite the fact that when this framework was made it was reprehensible by many, I am glad that we are now here to monitor the development of medical cannabis for both investors and patients who will now be able to access these medicines."

With the inauguration of this unit, our country acquires a high level of know-how that will help Greek and European patients to come closer to safe and effective treatments of recognized value.
The medical cannabis market
Based on data on the latest European and global market trends for the industry, there has been an increase in the creation of units for the cultivation and processing of medicinal cannabis for commercial purposes in many European countries. However, Canada retains the lead as the largest exporter in Europe, but this is changing as more and more countries around the world begin their exports while at the same time Canadian producers shift the crop to Europe. In at least 15 European countries there are units for the cultivation and processing of medicinal cannabis for commercial purposes.
In Europe, medicinal cannabis remains linked to the existing healthcare system, with treatment programmes strictly controlled by regulators as well as the licensing process done by state bodies. In particular, pilot projects on medicinal cannabis are progressing across the continent of Europe. Notably, the German medical cannabis market continues to grow steadily, with a 43% increase in cannabis sales in pharmacies at the end of 2021, with most of the growth coming from products sold to patients with private prescriptions. Medicinal cannabis products in Germany must have an EU-GMP certification, which adheres to high standards for the production and testing of medicines. More time is needed to build up production capacities at EU-GMP level than for non-certified treatment plants.
In Greece, licenses are still at an early stage, although the first companies have already made their appearance by investing dynamically in the field with the creation of factories for the cultivation and processing of medicinal cannabis.
As far as CBD products are becoming increasingly legalized, as of February 2022, the European Commission has registered at least 12 valid applications for CBD as novel foods, while the trend for approval of new applications is expected to continue in the very near future. In Greece, in June 2022, the relevant JMD (1/6/2022
- 2712) was published, in which the terms and conditions of the legal production, placing on the market and marketing of dietary supplements containing Hemp of the species Cannabis Sativa L, i.e. CBD, are communicated. Until now, CBD products have been distributed exclusively through CBD stores or other hemp products. This special distribution has not so far contributed to the reliability and effectiveness of the category, even if the special stores give weight to cannabis products. Almost all developed European and not only countries (UK, Canada, Israel, etc.) currently have at the disposal of their patients the "tool" of medicinal cannabis for significantly improved quality of life.
