The House of Representatives on Thursday stepped down a bill to grant and revoke licenses for the cultivation of cannabis, popularly known as marijuana, for future consideration.
The bill intends to amend section 3(1) of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency Act, 2004 to confer additional responsibility of the power to grant and revoke licence(s) for the cultivation of cannabis plant (or any of its three species namely Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica, and Cannabis ruderalis) for medicinal purposes.
