Kunal Naik from the NADC: "The report on the reform of the national cannabis policy is expected by late June/early July"

Kunal Naik announced on Thursday, April 30, that the report on the reform of the national cannabis policy is expected by late June or early July. Speaking to the press this morning, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the National Agency for Drug Control (NADC) stated that this report has been prepared by a technical group within the agency, and consultations will begin next week.

Changes are anticipated, particularly regarding medical cannabis, to enhance its accessibility. The possibility of industrial hemp is also being explored, which Kunal Naik highlights has significant economic potential.

The question of decriminalization, and even legalization, will also be discussed. The NADC CEO expects pressures and resistance from certain lobbying groups upon the report's publication. However, he asserts that his position remains unchanged.
