Global CannaVigilance Cannabis Newsletter 2023 / 07

Hello friends of CannaVigilance,

So, Cape Town is done and dusted (for now) and London and Zurich lie ahead. We are coming out of hibernation and the year is starting to pick up speed. Hope you have your safety belt on because it looks like there are a lot of things on the horizon: Germany and Switzerland kicked off the year on a high note. Let’s see what else happened this week.
