Nepal’s Gandaki province legalizes medical cannabis farming and use

The government of Gandaki province in Nepal has legalized the cultivation and use of marijuana for medical purposes. The legislation, which was endorsed by the provincial chief, went into effect on Monday. This move establishes a provincial framework for medical cannabis despite a broader national ban on the substance currently in place in Nepal. The new law permits regulated farming and the administration of cannabis-based products for therapeutic use within the province.
