DR Congo promulgated a public-health law allowing narcotics cultivation, production, possession and sale for medical and scientific purposes, subject to authorisation. The law tasked the health minister with setting permission conditions and required records and access for inspections. It specified commencement three months after promulgation; cannabis licensing conditions followed through the 2021 ministerial order.[1][2]
