Book excerpt: Chronicles of an Emerging Industry How do we define the plant nowadays? We see more laws in favor, more people joining legalization projects, more people informing themselves about the plant on the internet and leaving fear or taboo aside. We have government initiatives where prohibitionism changes for decriminalization and eventually decriminalization for regulation. For this reason, in this new edition of Cannabis World Journals we have as company of the month Texas Cannabis Clinic, a company with medical experts for the diagnosis and personalized treatment of patients with medical cannabis in Texas. In the CannaGrow section we name the innovative techniques in 2023 for large-scale cannabis cultivation. In CannaCountry we will talk about Luxembourg, its progress in legalization and projections. In CannaLaw we will see some cannabis litigation and Colombia's initiative for the legalization of cannabis for adult use. In the CannaTrade section we will talk about mergers and acquisitions in the cannabis market for 2023 and finally, in the CannaMed section we will describe the role of the EPS for the therapeutic care of patients with medical cannabis.
