CALI: Colombia gave the green light Friday (Saturday in Manila) to export dried cannabis flowers for use in medical products in addition to allowing manufacturers to produce goods such as textiles or food containing the plant. In a bold embrace of a booming global market, President Ivan Duque signed a decree ending “the ban on the export of dried flower” in an event organized at Clever Leaves, one of the 18 multinationals that grows medicinal cannabis in Colombia. Colombia “is coming in as a major player in the international market” for cannabis, Duque said.
