Memery Crystal is proud to support the release of ‘The European Cannabis Report: Fifth Edition’.

The European cannabis industry is rapidly changing in both landscape and legislation. This report revisits the landscape of cannabis in Europe taking an in-depth look at the countries and companies that are leading the way (many of which we are proud to have as clients). This includes providing insights into the latest developments, and delivering intelligence across key markets such as the UK, France, Portugal, Germany, Italy and Spain. The report provides an in-depth analysis and explanation of complex legislation and key data for international policymakers and industry-leading operators.

Key insights from the report include:

• Luxembourg’s impending legalisation of recreational cannabis is likely to cause a ‘Domino Effect’ of cannabis reform in Western Europe.
• In 2020 and beyond, Europe can expect to see progress towards a single-market distribution programme for cannabis-based medicinal products.
• European countries are seeking to establish a legal infrastructure and domestic supply in 2020, having been reliant on international imports in 2019.
• European investors are beginning to emerge as North American capital focuses on domestic requirements.
• European cannabis CPG groups continue to be attractive to North American investors and major international cannabis companies.
