    We may all become Ganja farmers- Edudzi Tameklo

    Legal Team Member of the National Democratic Congress, Godwin Edudzi Tameklo has welcomed the growing of cannabis for medical and industrial purposes.



    On Metro Tv’s Morning show, Good Morning Ghana, Godwin Edudzi said he knew of business men who are acquiring acres of land around the country for the production of the hemp.
    “I am aware of a lot of business men who are today, buying large tracks of land in many parts of the country to grow cannabis, I think we may all end up being ganja farmers”


    He is optimistic the legislative instrument governing the production of cannabis will yield good results and curb the misuse of the hemp.

    “The issue of enforcement, compliance among other things, is like someone who is working on the job, you still want to give the person the benefit, maybe at this time, all of us must ensure that the various skill set at the Narcotics control commission will be enhanced, because we can’t do this without the corporation of standards authority”


    Parliament has passed the Narcotics Control Commission Amendment Bill 2023, bringing significant changes to the cultivation of cannabis for industrial and medicinal purposes.

    The amended bill grants the Ministry of Interior the authority to issue licenses for the cultivation of cannabis, thereby enabling the utilization of this plant for various beneficial applications.
