Nepal's Gandaki Province Legalizes Cultivation and Use of Medical Cannabis
The government of Gandaki Province in Nepal has recently made the decision to legalize the cultivation and use of cannabis for medical purposes. Although the use of cannabis remains prohibited by law throughout Nepal, this move by the provincial government has attracted significant attention.
According to the Gandaki provincial government, this new policy aims to improve public health and generate economic benefits by utilizing cannabis as medicine. Cultivation is scheduled to take place in specific areas within the province under strict supervision.
On the other hand, Nepal's federal government still classifies cannabis as an illegal drug. Consequently, there are concerns regarding how the provincial decision will be reconciled with national law and how the situation will develop in the future.
This news was announced amidst ongoing global debates regarding the use of medical cannabis. As many countries consider its use for medical purposes, the international community is watching closely to see what impact this decision by Nepal will have.
