The Medicines Control Authority of Zimbabwe (MCAZ) is looking to allow hemp-based CBD products to be given as medicine to patients.

The MCAZ posted a letter to Twitter July 26 informing all licensed cannabis/hemp producers, manufacturers, importers/exporters and retail pharmacists that the organization is now accepting and reviewing applications for the approval of selling hemp-based CBD products as complementary medicines to patients, under certain conditions, Bloomberg reported.
