The Growth of Illicit E-Vapour in Latin America: Case Studies from Brazil, Colombia and Mexico

27 Jun 25

E-vapour products have become a topic of growing debate in key Latin American markets. Brazil and Mexico have experienced different market evolutions over the past few years. Mexico used to have a legal e-vapour market without proper regulation, while Brazil has banned products since 2009. As of 2025, both countries have banned the distribution and sales of e-vapour products, driving the illicit trade. In contrast, Colombia regulated products in 2024, driving the legal market in the region, but still has a mix of legal and illicit products.

The Evolution of Japan's Cannabis Market in 2024 and the Impact of Legal Regulations

12 Mar 25

The laws and regulations regarding cannabis in Japan have undergone significant changes in recent years. In particular, in 2023, a revised bill was proposed for the Cannabis Control Law, which established a new offence for use and officially approved Epidiolex, a CBD preparation for medical use. The revised law was delayed from the initially scheduled date of October 2024, and then came into effect on 12 December, but expectations for growth in the CBD market temporarily slowed in 2024. This article explains the reasons for this, the current situation, and the outlook for the future market.
