## Show notes

Khiron is taking a different approach than US Cannabis companies.

They are building data systems to provide evidence-based research to reduce stigma, adopt normalization, and convert opioid users to medical cannabis. Their systems and achievement have quickly led to many breakthroughs, as recently announced, "Khiron signs deal with Bogota's largest public health insurance for medical cannabis coverage." Now that Columbia is on board, Khiron has its eyes on disrupting other international medical markets by taking the data-based evidence to Brazil, Peru, Mexico, and many others

This week on The Dime, we host Alvaro Torres, CEO of Khiron, to discuss

- Providing data-based evidence to influence regulators
- International challenges & opportunities
- Building foundational systems for personalized medicine
- How US Cannabis companies are looking to replicate Khiron's international success
- and so much more
