Ghana is opening doors for cannabis cultivation. The Narcotics Control Commission has started accepting applications for licenses.
These licenses are for growing and managing cannabis. The purpose is for industrial and medicinal uses only.
The Minister for the Interior, Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak, launched the national licensing regime on February 26, 2026. This marks a significant step in Ghana's economic strategy.
Applications are now open for interested parties who meet the requirements.
The focus is on cannabis varieties with specific low levels of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
This initiative aims to create new economic opportunities within a regulated framework.
The commission's move is expected to foster growth in the pharmaceutical and industrial sectors.
Further details on the licensing process and specific requirements can be obtained from the Narcotics Control Commission.
