NACOC issues cannabis cultivation licences to two firms
The Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) has issued licences to two companies to cultivate cannabis for medicinal and industrial use after Parliament approved regulations allowing the controlled production, processing and use of cannabis with a THC content not exceeding 0.3%.
The licences were presented under a new regulatory and fee framework aimed at supporting the legal cannabis industry for medical and industrial purposes.
Speaking at the presentation ceremony, NACOC Director General Major General Maxwell Obuba Mantey urged the companies to strictly comply with the terms of their licences, warning that any violation would attract severe sanctions.
He stressed that licensees must operate only within the approved acreage and activities authorised by the Commission.
“If you comply with the conditions, the benefits will be significant for both your companies and the country. However, any abuse of the system will be dealt with firmly,” he cautioned.
