Exciting developments are underway in South Africa as the government collaborates with stakeholders to shape a comprehensive policy for the hemp and cannabis sectors. The agreed regulatory reforms aim to unlock the immense potential of cannabis across African traditional medicine, pharmaceuticals, and industrial applications.
A recent Phakisa Action Lab brought together a diverse group of participants, including government representatives, business leaders, community members, traditional and Rastafari leaders, scientists, and legal experts.
