Editor’s Note The cannabis industry is one that has traditionally been fraught with regulatory hurdles, gray areas and ethical pot holes. It is refreshing then to see the medical cannabis industry begin to receive the attention it deserves, and as restrictions lift, new business opportunities move into play. Recent Maltese legislation approving the use and possession of medical cannabis with a prescription follows a blazing trail left by other pilgrims, such as Canada, Israel and Thailand. The regulatory turnaround has opened up a new space for local industry to flourish, bringing economic growth to the island and rejuvenating a flagging agricultural scene. And of course, better regulation means better products, which is why many new entrants to this lucrative market are catching on to the benefits emerging technologies such as AI and blockchain, have to offer. From seed-to-sale tracking to personal, patient-based medical products, the convergence of these two spheres promises great things for the future of medical cannabis, something we’re sure many of the investors attending our back-to-back summits on medical cannabis and blockchain this November will be exploring. This shift in perspective is also alluring for the hope it brings to patients suffering from chronic illnesses, a call to action eloquently laid out in our interviews with Hannah Deacon and Tracy Ryan. Finally some thanks. SiGMA Group’s foray into this unchartered new vertical would be but a pipe dream if not for founder and CEO Eman Pulis’ pioneer spirit, and our inaugural issue of the magazine nought but a Word document on a laptop, if not for Jessica Camilleri’s inspired design. Enjoy the issue, Katy ALEKSEY KATY JESS
