Honest Marijuana Company partners with a new chain of clinics to set up an African base for medical marijuana production and sales
A Colorado marijuana company with global ambitions aims to expand into Tanzania, with the goal of eventually breaking into the European market.
Oak Creek’s Honest Marijuana Company, which specializes in organic marijuana, is partnering with a new chain of medical clinics in Tanzania to set up an African base for medical marijuana production and sales.
