As Europe familiarises itself with CBD and its potential health benefits, a wide range of opportunities are starting to materialise for cannabis companies. Symtomax, based in Portugal is the largest cultivation facility in Europe and leading the industry with the introduction of a unique delivery system, branded the Oral Tab.

This means that the delivery method has the ability to cater to patients seeking either an instant dose of cannabinoids or those requiring a timed release profile over a few hours which is a challenge when using more traditional preparations.
