Consolidation of the legal cannabis industry is continuing. High Tide Inc. is acquiring nine of Choom Holding Inc.’s brick and mortar stores across Canada.

Since ketamine psychedelic therapy to treat depression has become more widely-known, greater commercialization can be expected. Ketamine Wellness Centers has launched along with a Ketamine Wellness Integrative Therapist Directory to connect patients and qualified practitioners.

“Ketamine therapy is a rapidly growing medical field demonstrating promising results, but many patients overlook the importance of continuous cognitive therapy after their ketamine treatments to maximize the outcomes,” said Kevin Nicholson CEO of Ketamine Wellness Centers and COO of Delic, a subsidiary of Ketamine Wellness Centers. “A therapist from the network can work with patients to bridge the outcomes from their completed ketamine therapy into positive, long-term changes in attitudes and behavior. By putting together a comprehensive list of like-minded, qualified mental health professionals and organizations, KWC is continuing to focus on a holistic approach to healing patients suffering from various mental health conditions.”

Spain has tabled legislation to provide legal access to medical cannabis. Khiron Life Sciences Corp acknowledged the progress Spain has made towards medical cannabis access. Spain is already a main exporter of medical cannabis for Europe.

“We welcome the planned regulation for medical cannabis in Spain,” President of Khiron Europe Franziska Katterbach. “For Khiron, Spain is another important European market with great potential in which we have been active since 2019 – but the opening of the market for medical cannabis in Spain is even more important for the hundreds of thousands of potential patients in Spain who do not have access to cannabinoid-based therapies.”
