EUROPA SERÍA EL MERCADO CANNÁBICO MÁS GRANDE A NIVEL MUNDIAL

No es fácil llegar a un acuerdo entre 50 países para consensuar la legalización y comercialización del cannabis. En Francia, por ejemplo, donde siempre se ha mantenido una mentalidad más conservadora respecto a este tema, se está llevando a cabo un cambio de mentalidad propiciado por el apoyo social mostrado hacia la legalización y viendo los posibles beneficios comerciales que van desde el aumento de empleos, ingresos fiscales y posibilidades de investigación, a la disminución de la delincuencia.

En EEUU y Canadá, la inversión se ha cuadriplicado en comparación con el año anterior pero en Europa, como mucho Luxemburgo, no se espera un mercado recreativo en un futuro cercano, pero sí se espera un aumento significativo en la industria del cannabis medicinal. El mercado regulado podría brindar muchas oportunidades económicas impulsando a los países que más sufrieron la recesión económica, como España, Portugal, Italia, Polonia, Grecia o Macedonia.

Luxemburgo pretende legalizar el uso recreativo antes de 2023, lo que le dará alas a los países con los que linda; Bélgica, Holanda, Alemania y Francia. En temas de cannabis medicinal, el principal problema parece ser la educación de los médicos, porque la demanda está aumentando poco a poco en países como Italia o Alemania.

El debate sobre el cannabis llegó a la UE en verano de 2018 cuando el Comité de Salud Pública y Seguridad Alimentaria del Parlamento Europeo pidió a la Comisión Europea que creara una política paneuropea de cannabis. Algunos se mostraron reacios a tomar medidas, citando obligaciones para con la Convención Única de las Naciones Unidas sobre Estupefacientes, quienes están seriamente desactualizados respecto a los recientes cambios mundiales.

EUROPE COULD BE THE LARGEST CANNABIC MARKET IN THE WORLD

It is estimated that in the next 5 years Europe could become the largest legal market at world level. In the last year the industry has grown more than in the previous 6 years, now medical cannabis is legal in some EU countries and more than 500 million have been invested in this industry.

The acceptance of legality could benefit the European patients first, but also political leaders, investors, businessmen, scientists and medical researchers ... The three biggest markets at this moment are Italy, Holland and Germany with a total of 130,000 patients treated with cannabis, it is expected that by 2028, 58,000 million euros will be generated in the European market.

Southern European countries begin to develop national farming programs in order to offer a cheap product within the EU. In total there are 14, out of the 28 total, the countries that have

It is not easy to reach an agreement between 50 countries to agree on the legalization and commercialization of cannabis. In France, for example, where a more conservative mentality has always been maintained on this issue, a change of mentality is taking place, fostered by the social support shown towards legalization and seeing the possible commercial benefits that range from the increase in jobs, tax revenues and research possibilities, to the reduction of crime.

In the US and Canada, investment has quadrupled compared to the previous year but in Europe, at most Luxembourg, a recreational market is not expected in the near future, but a significant increase in the medicinal cannabis industry is expected. The regulated market could provide many economic opportunities by boosting the countries that suffered the most from the economic recession, such as Spain, Portugal, Italy, Poland, Greece or Macedonia.

Luxembourg aims to legalize recreational use before 2023, which will give wings to the countries with which it borders; Belgium, Holland, Germany and France. In medical cannabis issues, the main problem seems to be the education of doctors, because the demand is increasing little by little in countries like Italy or Germany.

The debate on cannabis came to the EU in the summer of 2018 when the Committee of Public Health and Food Safety of the European Parliament called on the European Commission to create a pan-European cannabis policy. Some were reluctant to take action, citing obligations to the United Nations Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, which are seriously out of date with respect to recent global changes.
