What if the World’s Biggest Tobacco Company Entered the Cannabis Industry? – Oh Wait, It Just Did…

More recently, in January 2025, a press release was published detailing Vectura Fertin Pharma’s (VFP), a subsidiary of Philip Morris International, joint venture with a Canadian biotech firm focusing on cannabinoid-based drugs – Avicanna. According to the press release, the joint venture seeks to promote cannabis accessibility and research. Avicanna already has a stronghold in the wellness sector. However, the press release hardly makes any other mention about the involvement of Philip Morris International, but it’s clear that Big Tobacco has long had their eye in the cannabis industry.
