High-security efforts underway for cannabis production

İZMİR

Following Türkiye’s legalization last year of controlled cannabis use for medical purposes, a high-security production facility is being prepared in the western province of İzmir’s Kınık district.

A bill introducing new regulations in the healthcare sector, including the sale of various cannabis-derived products in pharmacies, was adopted by the Turkish parliament in July 2025.

The Kınık Organized Agricultural Zone, specialized in medicinal and aromatic plants, is now preparing to host cannabis-related investments.
