What does the Medellín listing actually sell?
Colombian Happy Grow Shop is in Premium Plaza mall, Carrera 43 con Calle 30, local 3306, selling substrates, lights, nutrients and home-grow gear, plus online orders. It sells equipment, not cannabis. The licensed producers are out in Rionegro, not the city.
