While the use of marijuana for medicinal and scientific purposes has been decriminalised, it is still illegal to grow, possess, or use marijuana for recreational (enjoyment/pleasure) purposes. In 2018, the Zimbabwean government allowed for the legal production of industrial hemp, a strain of the cannabis plant that contains very low levels of THC, the psychoactive compound in marijuana. Statutory Instrument 218 Agricultural Marketing Authority (Industrial Hemp) Regulations, gazetted in 2018 by the Minister of Lands, Agriculture, Water and Rural Resettlement Anxious Masuka, does not legalise the production or use of marijuana for recreational purposes, as the use of marijuana for non-medical purposes remains illegal in Zimbabwe. SI 218 provides for three types of permits for growers, namely general growers’, research and breeding, and industrial hemp merchant’s permits. *More Pindula News* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
