South African government backtracks on banning cannabis edibles


//politics-government.news-articles.net/content/ .. ment-backtracks-on-banning-cannabis-edibles.html
Published in Politics and Government on by IOL   Print publication without navigation

South Africa's government has lifted the ban on cannabis and hemp-derived foodstuffs, opening new avenues for entrepreneurs while ensuring safety regulations are put in place.

The South African government has reversed its decision to ban cannabis edibles, following significant backlash from the public and industry stakeholders. Initially, the Department of Health had proposed regulations that would have prohibited the sale of cannabis-infused food and beverages, aiming to protect public health. However, after consultations and recognizing the economic potential and consumer demand for these products, the government decided to reconsider its stance. This backtrack was influenced by the need to support the burgeoning cannabis industry, which sees edibles as a key market segment, and to align with public sentiment favoring the legalization and regulation of cannabis products. The decision reflects a broader trend towards more progressive cannabis policies in South Africa, acknowledging both the economic benefits and the need for regulation to ensure safety and quality control.
