Cannabis in Zambia
From Wikipedia - Reading time: 5 min
Cannabis in Zambia is illegal for recreational use. In December 2019, by unanimous decision, it was legalized for export and medicinal purposes only.[1] Cannabis is known as Zam-Blaze,"chamba", chwang, or dobo in Zambia.[2]
In March 2017, Home Affairs Minister Steven Kampyongo clarified that it is legal to cultivate cannabis for medical use if a license is obtained from the Minister of Health.[3] In May 2017, however, Health Minister Dr. Chitalu Chilufya stated that he has no intention of issuing any cultivation licenses.[4][5]
