The Canadian cannabis stocks we have identified have upside potential following Colombia’s decision to allow medical cannabis exports to Canada
SmallCapPower | February 12, 2019: On February 7, 2019, the first authorization from the Colombian government last week to export medical cannabis for scientific purposes to Canada was awarded to a private Colombian Cannabis company called Clever Leaves. Clever Leaves, which is funded by New York based Northern Swan Holdings, obtained an import license from Health Canada on January 19, 2019. With both an import and an export license secured, the Company can start to ship medical cannabis to Canada, for testing, to determine if Colombia-grown cannabis meets Canadian medical standards. If the test results come back positive, then this should open the opportunity for other cannabis companies to export medical cannabis to Canada. Today we have weeded out three Canadian cannabis stocks with operations in Colombia, which could benefit from the new cannabis export laws in that country.
