A Global Connection: SOMAí and PACCAN Link Asian and European Cannabis Markets

Thailand has become the fastest-growing internal cannabis market, potentially netting $1.2 billion in internal sales in 2025. Thailand’s cannabis products could provide a massive export opportunity for the global markets in Europe.?

PACCAN GROUP, Asia’s leading plant-based biotechnology company, and SOMAí Pharmaceuticals, one of Europe’s most influential medical cannabis companies, have partnered to create a cross-continental powerhouse that will bring PACCAN’s products to Europe and SOMAí’s products to Asia. This partnership represents the best of Thailand and Europe’s cannabis industries coming together to produce and distribute medical cannabis properly, safely, and ethically in the global markets.

The Thai Cannabis Industry Begins to Find its Footing

Thailand’s cannabis professionals at companies like PACCAN are dedicated to changing the image that Thailand’s market is a bit of a Wild West.?

In reality, Thailand is the center of plant-based biotech and plant-based medicines, and the country is home to a rich tradition of the healing powers of plants. Now, doctors in Thailand are realizing that medical cannabis is proper medicine. Through their partnership, SOMAí and PACCAN intend to uplift the entire industry via proper business practices and standardized medical sales.?

Brokering a European Medical Extract and Thai Flower Exchange

In this powerful global partnership, SOMAí is PACCAN’s connection to Europe, and PACCAN is SOMAí’s connection to Asia. The collaboration between these two companies will bring Thai cannabis flower to Europe and send European extracts to Asia in an import-and-export cannabis superhighway between the two continents.?

Cannabis Legislation Inches Onward in Thailand

Thailand is intent on moving cannabis legislation forward and not labeling cannabis as a narcotic, with rhetoric similar to Germany’s. Thailand believes in cannabis as a plant medicine with the power to heal many indications.?

The King of Thailand is expected to sign the cannabis act by March 2025; this act cannot be reversed in the future. Signing this act into law will enshrine cannabis as a legal medicine and solidify Thailand as Asia’s cannabis center. With this progress comes the expectation that Thailand will push further into plant-based medicines, continuing to solidify its position in the global herbal medicine landscape.?

SOMAí and PACCAN’s Groundbreaking Partnership

The collaboration between SOMAí and PACCAN will benefit both parties and signal a new phase in the push for a global cannabis market.?

Bringing Coveted Thai Cannabis Flower to Europe’s Market

SOMAí will bring all of PACCAN’s and its partner's flower to the European and global markets. PACCAN sits in the center of the supply stream for Thailand’s best flower and understands who the top players are.??

SOMAí has not just invested in the best extract portfolio in the European Union Good Manufacturing Practice (EU-GMP) cannabis market; it has also invested heavily in partnerships and distribution networks in 12 countries and counting. With extensive sales teams and a massive quality assurance, regulatory, and inventory team, SOMAí is ready to handle the volume coming from its Thai partner. PACCAN’s labs also serve as additional quality checkpoints before the flower enters Europe, ensuring that nothing but high-quality, properly analyzed flower makes it.?

While many companies are discussing exportation, the process is extremely complicated. Transporting cannabis is strictly regulated, and only the most highly qualified groups will be allowed to pass through the proper government channels. PACCAN exceeds the qualifications; it is already the most proven and reliable cannabis company in Thailand and is engrained in Thai culture through various businesses in the cannabis industry and beyond.?

Importing European Cannabis Extracts to Thailand and Beyond

As SOMAí prepares to import high-quality Thai cannabis, PACCAN is registering SOMAí products in Thailand through the FDA and is ready to distribute them to emerging Asian countries in the future, such as the Philippines.?

Shaping the Future of Global Cannabis Through Collaboration

SOMAí has partnered with PACCAN to bring EU-GMP certification to PACCAN’s facilities, enabling the exchange of technology to strengthen their collaboration. This mutual support embodies the spirit of true partnership. With state-of-the-art growth and extraction facilities, PACCAN and SOMAí demonstrate how leveraging each other’s strengths can create greater opportunities than acting alone. Their collaboration marks a modern partnership that transcends money, aiming instead for global healing.?

Nurturing A Growing Global Cannabis Market

All eyes are on this cross-continental partnership that will pride itself on manufacturing and selling the best cannabis products globally. Everyone in the cannabis industry talks about worldwide distribution, but SOMAí and PACCAN are perfecting the massive infrastructure required to do it properly.?

Asia and Europe will cheer this forward-facing model well into the future, and patients worldwide will benefit from the highest-quality products from both continents. For SOMAí and PACCAN, it’s all about making a difference for patients internationally!
