The Pharmaceutical Society of Kenya has urged the National Assembly to enhance access to medical marijuana by amending the Narcotics and Psychotropic Control Act (1994). “The law currently provides for four categories of people to possess medical marijuana. So, a patient who needs this product is denied because of lack of the drug within the medical supply chain,” Dr Munene said. “We find it odd that the drug is widely abused, widely available although illegally. It also proposes the establishment of a Marijuana Control Council that will register and license growers, producers, manufacturers and users in addition to spearheading research on marijuana properties.
