About us

We began to write a new chapter in the medical Cannabis history in 2016

Two pillars underpin medcann’s creation in 2016:

• Profound understanding of the regulatory framework.
• Decades of expertise in cannabis cultivation, hybridization and transformation for medical purposes.

In its early years, medcann aimed to take the most of the country´s competitive advantages (regulatory and natural) in a sustainable and competitive way by betting on outdoor cultivation with the goal of obtaining scalability, and low-cost expansion, through mechanized agriculture processes.

The first efforts of the company focused on:

• Concession of regulatory assets.
• Characterization of genetics varieties.

Milestones and achievements

medcann 2.0: genetics licensing and seed supply

As from 2021, the company focuses its endeavors and strategy on cannabis genetics making the most of the strengths and advantages acquired in previous years, to provide the global market with the highest quality cannabis/hemp genetics.

In the years to come, medcann Pharma will become a global powerhouse in formalized cannabis genetics and worldwide provider of licensed cultivars and certified seed supply.

Colombia is a very attractive country to develop the cultivation of medicinal cannabis due to its excellent geographic
location, as well as an established regulatory framework.

above sea level, an average temperature of 26 ªC, and a percentage average photosynthetically active radiation of 80.

Additionality, the soil of the high plains and foothills are agricultural soils, and their flat topography allows for mechanized agriculture, thus a dramatic reduction in costs.
