Earlier this week, MGC Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (ASX:MXC) (OTC:MGCLF) announced the company has obtained a full medical cannabis license through its three-year botanical research partnership with the Biotechnical Faculty of University of Ljubljana in Slovenia.

In order to facilitate the research, the Faculty has been granted a full medical cannabis license from the Slovenian Ministry of Health.
This partnership expands on MGC Pharmaceuticals previously announced research partnerships with Panax Pharma (5 year breeding license held by their partner university, the Institute of Experimental Botany of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic) and their partnership with the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology.
