The announcement followed a raid in Lima, in which police shut down an operation which produced cannabis medicines for 80 members whose children suffered from epilepsy and other ailments.[8] Later that year, by a vote of 68 to 5, Peru's congress legalized cannabis oil for medical use.[9]
In June 2021, Cannabis & Co. opened the first legal dispensary in Peru for the sale of medicinal marijuana[10] after obtaining signed consent (permits) from the following four Peruvian government entities:
- General Directorate of Medicines
- Supplies and Drugs (Digemid)
- Ministry of Health (Minsa)
- Anti-Drug Directorate of the National Police[11]
For the grand opening, Cannabis & Co. registered three Cannabis brands from three different countries; Futura Farms (Peru), Epifractan (Uruguay), and Cannabidiol Life (United States).[12]
