Medical cannabis labelling in Portugal a problem

A recently published study has revealed significant discrepancies between label claims of some cannabinoid products sold in Portugal and actual cannabinoid levels and composition.

Cannabis is decriminalized in Portugal and medical use of the plant was legalized in 2018. While local cultivation facilities exist, a lack of processing and manufacturing infrastructure means raw materials are exported to create finished products, and imported medicines produced from plants grown elsewhere are also common.
