Western Cape Government welcomes the lifting of the cannabis edibles ban, promoting public consultation and economic growth opportunities.

The Western Cape Government has expressed approval of President Cyril Ramaphosa's decision to reverse the ban on cannabis edibles, which was initially set to be prohibited under the Cannabis for Private Purposes Bill. This reversal was announced by the Presidency, highlighting that the ban would have negatively impacted small-scale farmers and the broader cannabis industry. The decision aims to support the growth of the cannabis sector, which is seen as a significant economic opportunity for South Africa, particularly in regions like the Western Cape. The government's stance is that this move will foster job creation, economic development, and provide a legal framework for the cultivation and sale of cannabis products, thereby benefiting both the economy and the communities involved in cannabis farming.
