The Business Year's Special Report on Medical Cannabis in Latin America and the Caribbean is the second entry in our medical cannabis series, building upon our inaugural report on the Colombian market. While legislative progress did not move as rapidly as hoped in some markets, such as in Mexico, 2019 also witnessed other markets such as Brazil reaching long-awaited liberalization milestones. This 92-page report is a comprehensive examination of that progress and of the current investment climate throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. To understand how these developments are shaping local markets and global investor attitudes on the region, The Business Year sat down with the industry leaders, local entrepreneurs, regulatory administrators, government legislators, legal advisors, medical researchers and global investors that are driving medical cannabis forward.
