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.

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.
