This means the Ministry of Interior is mandated to issue licenses for the cultivation of cannabis thereby enabling the utilization of this plant for various beneficial applications.
The development comes after the Supreme Court impeded the passage of the law by striking out section 43 of the law as unconstitutional.

Section 43 of Act 1019 stipulates that the Minister on the recommendation of the Commission may grant a licence for the cultivation of cannabis popularly referred to as "wee" in Ghana, which is not more than 0.3 % THC content on a dry weight basis for industrial purposes for obtaining fibre or seed for medicinal purposes.

On Wednesday, July 12, 2023, Parliament has taken Narcotics Control Commission (Amendment) Bill, 2023, and the Bill is composed of a single clause when passed will empower the Minister to grant a license for the cultivation of cannabis in the country.

A report from the Committee on Defence and Interior said the object of the Bill is to amend the Narcotics Control Commission Act, 2020 (Act 1019). To empower the Minister to grant a license for the cultivation of cannabis which has not more than 0.3 percent THC content on a dry weight basis for industrial purposes for obtaining fiber or seed or medicinal purposes.

Actor, John Dumelo's reaction
I’m very excited Parliament has passed the Narcotics Control Commission Amendment Bill 2023, which seeks to decriminalize the cultivation of cannabis for medicinal and industrial purposes. This is a defining moment in Ghana’s history. As a farmer, adding the cultivation of cannabis to my portfolio for medicinal/ industrial purposes is definitely something I’m looking forward to. God bless Ghana. πŸ™πŸΏ #idey4u

Good one. Herbs like Marihuana, Cabbage, Scent Leaf etc. are good if put to good use. Herbs must be used moderately. Elohim created them all for us.

I will like to invest in Cannabis Farming in Ghana, any Ghanian reading this, should respond so we can partner for purchase of hectars of farmland to grow this plant. It is an amazing plant. Nigeria Government should learn from Ghana otherwise we will go and invest in Ghana.

...and Nigeria is wasting a good opportunity to earn foreign exchange.

This is why we need innovative and Creative leadership not analogue brainless people that just want to plunder the nation's treasury.

***Puffs joint***

One country at a time.
Although, I don't see this happening in Nigeria soon.
I can't believe I'm living in a country where alcohol and cigarettes are legal while cannabis is illegal. That's really awkward. cry

Chai, hyper rugged.

If Tinubu does this, he'll not need to campaign for elections again.

I will personally campaign for him, even though I hate him.
