[Edited under our comment moderation policy] My supplier has been out of stock for over 3 months now and [that] has just been extended to May. I’ve found recent news reports confirming that Australian cannabis flower products are being sent overseas to Italy.
We at MedCan – the first fully indoor, operational and licensed cultivation facility in South Africa – can have flower delivered to another licensed holder within a week. If there is a company that needs high quality, high THC flower, please get in touch: we’d be happy to help.
Is there any truth to the rumour that some Australian companies have also been exporting Australian medical cannabis, leaving patients short?
I also wonder about federal policies preferring exports rather than selling to our own citizens. It happens a lot with other commodities like grain and wool. Typical!
