  • Khiron reiterates plans to enter Mexican medical cannabis market in 2021 through previously announced clinic and education strategy

TORONTO, June 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ - Khiron Life Sciences Corp. ("Khiron" or the "Company") (TSXV: KHRN) (OTCQX: KHRNF)(Frankfurt: A2JMZC), a vertically integrated medical cannabis leader with core operations in Latin America and Europe, today reiterates its plans to enter the Mexican medical cannabis market in 2021, following a landmark vote by the Mexican Supreme Court to decriminalize adult use cannabis.
