The global cannabis market is entering its most consequential chapter yet, and the action is no longer centered in North America. Germany's adult-use reforms have reshaped European demand almost overnight, while regulators in the Czech Republic, Switzerland, and the UK rewrite the rules for medical and wellness products.
