Pakistan's economic strategy: Embracing cannabis

Facing severe economic challenges, Pakistan is embracing cannabis for economic growth and stability. 

Regulating cannabis cultivation and trade

Pakistan has established a regulatory authority to oversee the cultivation and trade of cannabis. This move is aimed at harnessing the economic potential of cannabis and its derivatives, especially amid the country's ongoing economic crisis. 

Legalizing cannabis for medicinal purposes opens up opportunities for Pakistan to tap into the global cannabis market. With conducive growing conditions, Pakistan aims to export hemp and its products, attracting foreign investment and bolstering domestic sales.
