The Narcotics Control Commission Amendment Bill was approved after its third reading, Speaker Alban Bagbin said during proceedings on July 12.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n The passage opens the door for companies to obtain licenses to grow the plant that has no more than 0.3% tetrahydrocannabinol on a dry-weight basis, according to the provisions. Industrial-level cultivation can be for fiber, seed or medical use, it said.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This milestone achievement comes after the Supreme Court intervened and declared section 43 of the law as unconstitutional, thereby hindering the smooth passage of the legislation.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n READ ALSO:<\/strong>\u00a0Hard Times: KNUST First Class Economics Female Graduate Now Sprays Cars For Daily Bread<\/p>\n <\/p>\n African Child, a renowned Reggae artiste and journalist, has expressed economic optimism over the passage of the Narcotics Control Commission Bill giving the right to the cultivation of weed in the country.<\/p>\n According to African Child in the studios of Kessben Tv\u2019s \u201cAround Town\u201d show hosted by Quoo Fante, Ghana\u2019s economy will outgrow USA by 2031 over weed cultivation legalization in Ghana.<\/p>\n African Child is well-known for the popular songs titled \u2018Kumoo\u2019 and \u201cMefiri Amakom\u201d.
