March 25: The Ministry of Health and Population is preparing to approve research on marijuana for medicinal purpose. The decision was taken at a meeting chaired by Minister for Health and Population Birodh Khatiwada.
It may be noted that Minister Khatiwada has been advocating for legalizing the use of marijuana since a long time. The state-owned national news agency RSS reported on Thursday that a meeting of the Development Problem Solving Committee under the Ministry of Health and Population has decided to advance this agenda.
According to Shantaram Bidari, press adviser to the Health Minister Khatiwada, the committee has decided to give approval in principle to prepare a legal provision for conducting research on marijuana.
The decision, certified by Minister Khatiwada on Wednesday, states, "The government has decided to provide approval in principle to prepare legal provisions for the use of marijuana for medicinal purpose. Collection of samples for research to study the medicinal properties and toxicity of marijuana will be allowed once the laws are enacted."
A draft bill in this regard has also been prepared to be presented in parliament for legalizing the use of marijuana.
In February 2019, the then member of the ruling Nepal Communist Party Birodh Khatiwada had demanded during a parliamentary meeting that the government lift the ban on marijuana.
Speaking at the House meeting more than two years ago, Khatiwada had argued that cannabis is legal in developed countries like the United States of America, Canada, Thailand, among others.
“Why don’t we legalize cannabis in Nepal?” he questioned, adding that marijuana has been a source of income in the developed economies, while people in Nepal face legal actions for producing marijuana.
He further added that marijuana is destroyed in Nepal but ironically Singha Durbar-based Vaidyakhana – the state-run manufacturer of Aayurvedic and herbal medicines – imports marijuana from the foreign market.
Marijuana was legal in Nepal more than 40 years ago, but the herb was banned in the country in 1977 after pressure from the United States of America.

<p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Calibri,"sans-serif"">According to Shantaram Bidari, press adviser to the Health Minister Khatiwada, the committee has decided to give approval in principle to prepare a legal provision for conducting research on marijuana. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Calibri,"sans-serif"">The decision, certified by Minister Khatiwada on Wednesday, states, "The government has decided to provide approval in principle to prepare legal provisions for the use of marijuana for medicinal purpose. Collection of samples for research to study the medicinal properties and toxicity of marijuana will be allowed once the laws are enacted." </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Calibri,"sans-serif"">A draft bill in this regard has also been prepared to be presented in parliament for legalizing the use of marijuana.</span></span></p>
