    Brazil approves the sale of cannabis-based products for medical use

    President Jair Bolsonaro has previously expressed support for medical cannabis, but warned he would “not permit loopholes in the law”

    Brazil's health watchdog on Tuesday approved the sale of cannabis-based products for medical use in pharmacies to people with a prescription. The regulation, which takes effect in the coming months, also allows for the manufacture of such products in a laboratory, the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency (Anvisa) said in a statement.
