The legalisation of industrial hemp and medical cannabis for economic and medical benefits is gradually coming close to reality in Nigeria. Recently, the Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Hon. Benjamin Okezie Kalu stated in a press conference in Akure, Ondo State that the House of Representatives is set to legalise the use of Indian hemp for economic benefits.
