A spike in numbers is expected on Tuesday, the final day of a 90-day amnesty for those who illegally possess marijuana for medical purposes, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said. This doubles the number of tents to four. The cabinet in November approved a draft amendment to the 1979 Narcotics Act to legalise cannabis for medicinal and research purposes. Meanwhile, the Department of Medical Services has unveiled the registration schedule for training courses on prescribing marijuana to patients. Registrations began last Thursday and the training runs from June 13 to Sept 3.
