Cabinet approved a draft cannabis control law, now going to the House. It tightens control from planting (registration by plot size) through extraction, and raises penalties. Shops on existing 3-year licences will see them expire during 2026-2028. Any shop that wants to renew must convert into a medical facility with a resident doctor, and sales need a doctor-signed prescription. The Health Ministry says it will send inspection teams nationwide, especially to tourist cities. Shops not on the official registry are presumed illegal. If you sell or supply cannabis, check your licence expiry date and plan for the conversion cost and staffing now.
