The government has launched a public consultation on a compilation of legislation to decriminalise cannabis for medical, research, and religious use with hopes of bringing it to Parliament.
It said that the central component of the 11 bills is the Cannabis Bill 2023, which would establish a framework for local cannabis production to address medical needs.
The legislation would remove cannabis from the Dangerous Drugs Act and establish a new framework for rigorously regulating and safeguarding it as a controlled substance.
