Plain-language summary. The regulator is INFARMED (National Authority of Medicines and Health Products).

    Acquisition and possession for personal use are administrative offenses handled by dissuasion commissions (Law 30/2000 as amended by Law 55/2023); trafficking is a crime.

  • Home grow

What the deal was for

Curaleaf Portugal grows in Alcochete, across the Tagus estuary, and processes in Setúbal. Buying the plant let the group run seed to sale on its own premises, and it aimed at Europe's larger prescription markets, especially the UK and Germany, according to the company's statement. The deal covered leasehold improvements, installed equipment and system procedures, per the release. There is no street address on our record for this entry.

Why a small town page is short

Setúbal has no cannabis shop, and this producer sells to the export trade and to licensed buyers, not to patients at the door. The Portuguese retail route is a prescription plus a pharmacy, described in our products and prices guide. Regional context is on the Setúbal district page.

Cannabis in Setúbal: questions

Does Curaleaf sell in Portugal?

The register describes cultivation and processing aimed at export. Pharmacy sales in Portugal would need INFARMED-authorised products, and I found none listed for this site.

Where is the greenhouse?

In Alcochete, about 25,000 square metres according to the register; the processing is in Setúbal.
