Two weeks ago, television news reported a major achievement by the customs, which was the seizing of 400 kg of weed ready to be exported to Canada as soap bars.
The operation is a sign of the customs’ vigilance to apply Lebanese laws. However, if this relatively small quantity had arrived in Canada, no punitive action would have been taken against exporters or importers because weed is no more illegal in Canada.
Actually, Canada is not the only North American country to legalize the manufacturing of weed for medical use as pain killers and to treat a number of neurological diseases. Factories in Canada are currently producing weed-derived medicines, whereas a Canadian company has found a factory in Colombia, where harmful drugs are produced. In Colombia, government and investment efforts are focused on expanding weed cultivation and drug production in order to replace heroin, cocaine, and harmful drugs Colombia had been known to export to the United States.
In the US, 18 states legalize weed growing and marketing; whereas announcements of home delivery has become well spread in New York – legalizing is still too narrow and restriction is not mandatory – as well as in Los Angeles and across California.
If we consider the population rst production line was installed and “Cedars Plus” and “Silver” were launched in the local market. This matter was a turning point with respect to the production of local cigarettes.
It is worth noting that Regie had already signed an agreement with IMPERIAL TOBACCO, and is seeking means to sign agreements with other international companies, thus becoming a local company that manufactures 12 global brands.
For this purpose, the purchase of new machines to increase the production lines to 5 became a necessity, and Regie is currently working on the establishment of a new factory that allows it to increase the production lines to 10.
