The government clarified that cannabis cultivation would be carried out strictly under a regulated and scientific framework, focusing on industrial, medicinal and research-based applications. The policy includes detailed provisions related to cultivation, production, processing and usage to prevent misuse and ensure it is utilised only for authorised purposes.
