Polish distributor to receive first shipment of medical cannabis

A Polish medical cannabis distributor, Can4Med is expecting to receive its first shipment of medical-grade cannabis products which will be distributed to pharmacies across Poland.

Can4Med has announced today that it is expecting its first shipment of medical-grade cannabis for purposes of distribution in Poland. The company is set to distribute the products to an “extensive network” of pharmacy partners throughout the country.

Poland has one of the largest populations of medical cannabis patients in Europe with close to 10,000 patients legally accessing a prescription. While the demand is continuing to rise since the legalisation of medical cannabis in 2017, the country continues to face a supply issue as regulation fails to keep up with the developing industry.

Can4Med is a pharmaceutical wholesaler specialising in the acquisition, registration and distribution of medical cannabis and products containing THC and other cannabinoids in Poland. The company holds a general pharmaceutical wholesaler license which permits the marketing and distribution of narcotics for medical purposes and allows the wholesaling of medicinal products and pharmaceutical raw materials for pharmacy prescriptions.

“This significant milestone marks a major step forward in providing pharmacies and patients with regular access to cannabis for medical purposes. Can4Med is actively growing its supply contracts to provide approved products to the Polish market,” said Can4Med CEO Arek Piotrowicz.

Can4Med said it is well-positioned to register and distribute cannabis products throughout Poland. The company has a fully established partnership with a German licensed narcotics wholesaler allowing for the fluid trade of products through Poland and Germany.

Polish legislation allows doctors to prescribe medical cannabis products to patients who can then access them through registered pharmacies. On some specific occasions, products can be covered under public health insurance.

Cannabis products in Poland must be approved by government regulators before being made available for distribution, with six strains of medical cannabis currently approved. Currently, Poland imports all of its medical cannabis products from Germany, Canada and Denmark but the industry has called for changes to legislation that will help strengthen its national supply.

Earlier this year, a number of draft laws were proposed to bolster the country’s medical cannabis industry but were rejected by Parliament.
