This effectively means that CBD preparations, during that time, are legal to sell and people can buy them without prescription.
"This is a step in the right direction by the ministry of health," IFP chief whip in parliament Narend Singh said. Singh said the World Health Organisation had stated that CBD was not addictive and"not associated with any abuse potential". Singh said the notice by Motsoaledi meant CBD preparations would now be available for South Africans to use as a part of their general health and wellbeing dietary regimes.
Singh said the sixth parliament would usher in"umbrella" legislation in regards to cannabis, its medical, commercial and recreational private use.Singh said if the government was serious about"radical economic transformation", then the commercialisation of hemp farming and the industry had to be prioritised.
"Hemp farming and products must be made available to all South Africans. Surely after 23 years of hemp research in South Africa, it’s long overdue that this market is opened by government."
