3-30% whereas it is below 3% in hemp. A growing body of research has found that
cannabis can be effective for medical purpose such as pain relief.

1970s?

early 1970s, western youth involve in counterculture movement travelled to
Nepal from Europe in search of spirituality and peace. They would use

that might arise if cannabis is legalize in Nepal?
Let have look on this, First of all one should know that
there is no such historical record of people death due to consumption of cannabis.
Be sure if anything consume more than limit time to time regularly then it
turns into addiction. For example, If we consume sugar as addiction crossing

it for medicinal, scientific and recreational purposes. Similarly Netherlands legalize
cannabis for medicinal purposes and created Bureau of Medicinal Cannabis (BMC).
Likewise our neighbouring
country India is eagerly interested to legalize cannabis till September 8.
What Nepal can do
regarding cannabis (personal opinion)?
Youth of country
should confront and have fearless talk regarding legalization of cannabis.
Government should carry out referendum among public and take decision accordingly.
If cannabis has to be legalize then Government should have full control over
its business. They should only allow minimum proportion of land as their own
prescription so that it wouldn’t ruin productions of other vitals crops.Similarly,
cannabis research center can also be established for scientific purpose. There
should be direct link between farmer and pharmaceutical industries regarding
sale of cannabis by avoiding other third party. Certain criteria regarding
cultivation land, sale price and its use and limitation should be introduced.
Smuggling of cannabis need to be restricted by abiding strict rules and
regulation.
