Mozambique's president calls for studies on legalising cannabis

Opening a two-day meeting of the Eastern and Southern Africa Commission on Drugs in Maputo, President Filipe Nyusi called for deep reflection on policies to regulate cannabis, noting that other countries were already treating it as a legal plant. More than cooperation between countries, he said, deep studies were needed on how to legalise the plant. In the same speech he warned that drug trafficking fuels terrorism, citing the violence in Cabo Delgado. The European Union's representative said the EU was ready to share its members' experience with countries of the region.[1]
