Associate Lucia Patron interviewed about Medicinal Cannabis

After the legalization of cannabis use in our country, there has been a strong interest of investors in the medical cannabis industry in Uruguay, which would also open the range of crops sown by producers in Uruguay.


Lucia Patron, associate lawyer of Hughes & Hughes, said that many foreign companies are interested in investing in our country. The business opportunity is in non-psychoactive cannabis, which is used medicinally and also in multiple industries.


"Interested companies come from Canada, the US and Australia," explained Patrón. She also added that Uruguay has comparative advantages in terms of costs compared to developed countries that also produce medicinal cannabis.
