On 6 July 2018, Colombia signed Decree 1156/2018. The Decree simplifies the health registration regime for phytotherapeutic products, incorporates new international references, and sets guidelines for its issue.
The Decree also eliminates any prohibition to issue health registrations for phytotherapeutic products having narcotic activity, including medicinal cannabis. It will allow for a significant development of the phytotherapeutic productive sector.
