Last week, Costa Rica’s Ministry of Health announced on its official website the implementation of a regulations to facilitate the production and commercialization of medicinal cannabis products. This regulation includes provisions on administrative requirements, health registration, product specifications, control and advertising. While these products will be available in pharmacies, they will only be dispensed with a medical prescription.
Additionally, those who wish to register their products for official authorization must submit the legal and technical requirements outlined in the regulation, which will then be evaluated by the Ministry.
