A conversation between lawyers and pharmacists from Portugal and Brazil will try to answer some questions that arise with the recent reclassification of cannabis by the UN. What has changed? How does it impact member countries? How does it affect the growing market for therapeutic cannabis?

The debate is open access and will take place on the 5th of March, at 13:30 pm (Lisbon time) or 10:30 am (Brazilian time) on the Zoom platform.

The conversation has the participation of Gonçalo Saraiva Matias, lawyer and professor at the Faculty of Law of the Portuguese Catholic University, José Vera Cruz, specialist in the pharmaceutical industry by the Portuguese Pharmaceutical Association and responsible for CannaCanna.biz, Norberto Prestes, Executive President of Abiquifi – Brazilian Association of Pharmaceutical Inputs Industry and Margarete Akemi Kishi, coordinator of the cannabis working group of the Federal Council of Pharmacy of Brazil. The conversation will be moderated by Alessandra Mourão, lawyer and founding partner of Nascimento e Mourão – Sociedade de Advogados, in Brazil.
