    About Aureus Santa Marta (Avicanna)

    Santa Marta-based cultivation and extraction arm of Canada's Avicanna, supplying CBD, THC and CBG raw materials to partners.

    Aureus Santa Marta is the Colombian supply business of Avicanna Inc., a Toronto-based cannabinoid pharmaceutical company. It operates through Santa Marta Golden Hemp S.A.S., a majority-owned subsidiary on Colombia's Caribbean coast that Avicanna describes as commercial-stage. The unit grows and extracts cannabis and sells the resulting CBD, THC and CBG ingredients to partners who make food, cosmetic, medical and pharmaceutical products.

    Avicanna's page describes a 300,000-square-foot cultivation and extraction facility in Colombia, organic and GACP-certified operations and commercial-scale capacity, and cultivation of CBD-, THC- and CBG-dominant plants. The group also refers to USDA organic certification and to a sustainability ranking from S&P Global. The Colombian unit is a raw-material supplier; Avicanna's own branded products and research activity are based mainly in Canada.

    There is one governance point worth knowing. The Ontario Securities Commission issued Avicanna a management cease trade order on 4 April 2025 while annual filings were late, and the company announced on 16 April 2025 that the order had been revoked after it filed. In September 2026 Avicanna's website still displayed a banner about a management cease trade order, so readers should check the company's latest filings for current status.

    Consumers in Colombia do not buy from Aureus directly. As with other producers, finished cannabis medicines reach patients through prescriptions and licensed pharmacies.
