Following the legalisation of cannabis, there are still a number of regulatory requirements that pharmacies and wholesalers must comply with when trading, purchasing and importing cannabis flowers.

For specialised pharmacies, medical cannabis is a significant source of revenue; they have a particular need for advice on working with platforms, prescription requirements and all-inclusive packages, as well as on staffing requirements and space issues.

Despite liberalisation in the area of controlled substances, the handling of CBD products remains challenging. Product classification – medicinal product, cosmetic, foodstuff, medical device, commodity – is of utmost importance. This applies to the classification of medical cannabis with regard to regulatory requirements as well as to other CBD products, which in practice are often accused of placing novel, unauthorised foodstuffs on the market.
