Government backs off from banning cannabis edibles

The South African government has decided not to proceed with a ban on cannabis edibles, as announced by the Department of Health. This decision comes after significant public backlash and concerns from the cannabis industry about the potential negative impacts on small businesses and the broader economy. The proposed ban, which was part of the Cannabis for Private Purposes Bill, aimed to regulate the use of cannabis but faced criticism for potentially criminalizing the sale of cannabis-infused products like cookies and brownies. Instead of a ban, the government is now considering alternative regulatory measures to ensure public health and safety while supporting the burgeoning cannabis market. This shift in policy reflects an attempt to balance public health concerns with economic opportunities presented by the cannabis industry.
