Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on the Medical Marijuana Market

The supply chain disruptions and the massive demand for efficient treatments for the therapy of COVID-19 have put the healthcare research industry in a crucial situation globally. Moreover, the medical marijuana market growth declined by a rate of 32% from 2019 to 2020. Due to lockdown and shut down, no movements were taking place in most industries, as well as the import-export business was impacted and changes in guidelines for the supply of the product negatively impacted the market growth. In North Macedonia, construction of Pharmacon's 178,000-square-foot cannabis (marijuana) grow house, slowed due to social distancing guidelines. Additionally, in Barcelona, Cannabis Social Clubs—private, non-profit organizations, where the substance is collectively grown and distributed to registered members, was shut down following the government's declaration of a state of alarm across the country.
