Leading Middle East Law Firm Establishes First Medical Cannabis Practice
With the passing of the first Arab medical cannabis law by Lebanon, leading Middle East law firm Wasel & Wasel establishes the first medical cannabis law practice in the MENA region.
The law firm of Wasel & Wasel has established the first medical cannabis legal practice in the Middle East, in response to the Lebanese Parliament legalizing the cultivation, trade, research, and use of medical cannabis earlier this year.
The global medical cannabis market is expected to increase to as much as USD 60 billion by 2024. The decision by Wasel & Wasel to establish the practice comes as a result of significant interest seen by the firm in the Lebanese medical cannabis market from Europe and China, England, and Canada, and from within Lebanon and regionally.
