Pioneering Cannabis in the Canary Islands
Introducing Thailo Rodriguez, a trailblazer in Spain's cannabis industry, who has played a pivotal role in raising awareness about the optimal cannabis-growing climate in the Canary Islands. As the founder of the International Canarian Cannabis Company, his endeavors focus on attracting investors and external companies to establish cannabis businesses on the islands. This article delves into Thailo's journey and explores the exciting prospects that the Canary Islands offer for the cannabis industry.
The Perfect Climate for Cannabis Cultivation:
The unique weather conditions in the Canary Islands make them an exceptional location for growing cannabis. With a consistent photoperiod and subtropical temperatures, the islands provide the potential for up to six outdoor harvests per year. This advantageous environment leads to high THC ratios, including the noteworthy THC-V, granting the Canary Islands a significant comparative edge over other regions.
The Genesis of a Vision:
Over a decade ago, Thailo initiated the first cannabis association in the Canary Islands, driven by his knowledge of cannabis's therapeutic benefits and the administrative intricacies of the industry. In 2017, he embarked on a mission to collaborate with the government and develop a program to legalize and normalize cannabis use in the Canary Islands.
Forging Connections for the Industry:
Simultaneously, Thailo closely collaborated with politicians, associations, and pharmaceutical companies to establish the cannabis industry on the islands. By fostering collaboration between various stakeholders, he paved the way for a robust cannabis sector and opened doors to the development of cannabis-based pharmaceuticals.
The International Canarian Cannabis Company:
Thailo's vision led to the creation of the International Canarian Cannabis Company, which supports companies aiming to establish cannabis businesses on the islands. A significant milestone was achieved in 2021 when the first investor joined a cannabis project in Tenerife. Since then, Thailo has been diligently working with the investor to navigate the legal requirements for importing and exporting cannabis.
Essential Services Provided:
The International Canarian Cannabis Company offers a range of services, including assistance with licensing and the necessary paperwork for setting up cannabis businesses in Tenerife. Additionally, they provide valuable industry contacts, ensure compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), and connect businesses with reliable seed suppliers. Thailo's dedication resulted in the first-ever deal to produce 20 pounds of cannabis on the island.
Pioneering Challenges and Future Prospects:
One of the main challenges Thailo faces is venturing into relatively uncharted territory. Being the first company to enter the cannabis industry in the Canary Islands, there is a lack of familiarity and established practices. However, Thailo remains undeterred and continues to forge ahead.
Attracting Investors and Cannabis Companies:
Thailo's ultimate goal for this year is to attract more investors and cannabis companies to the Canary Islands. Through the International Canarian Cannabis Company, he aims to provide the necessary support and guidance to facilitate their entry into this promising market. An upcoming event in late November or December will serve as a platform to showcase the progress made and the exciting opportunities available.
Conclusion:
Thailo Rodriguez's visionary approach and unwavering determination have positioned the Canary Islands as an ideal destination for cannabis businesses. With its exceptional climate and the support offered by the International Canarian Cannabis Company, the islands present an attractive prospect for investors and cannabis entrepreneurs. As the industry continues to gain momentum, Thailo's pioneering efforts pave the way for a flourishing cannabis ecosystem in this picturesque region.
