However, a group of determined khat farmers initiated a legal challenge that spanned six years. They fought tirelessly to have the law repealed, arguing that it had been passed without the necessary quorum in parliament.<\/p>\n<h5>A Historic Decision: Cannabis Ban Overturned<\/h5>\n<p>Uganda&#8217;s constitutional court has now ruled in favor of the khat farmers, nullifying the 2015 law. This decision marks a significant shift in Uganda&#8217;s drug policy and has the potential to transform the nation&#8217;s cannabis and khat industries.<\/p>\n<h5>Remaining Challenges: Arrest Risks Persist<\/h5>\n<p>Despite this victory, individuals involved in the cultivation, possession, consumption, or sale of cannabis and khat still face potential legal consequences under other Ugandan laws. Security forces continue to raid private properties and uproot or destroy cannabis and khat farms, while possession of these substances may result in arrest.<\/p>\n<h5>A Changing Landscape: Africa&#8217;s Growing Embrace of Cannabis<\/h5>\n<p>Uganda is not alone in reevaluating its drug policies. Across Africa, countries are increasingly considering the legalization of commercial growing and export of medical marijuana. As this trend continues, the continent could see a significant shift in the way it approaches drug policy, with potentially far-reaching implications for the cannabis industry.<\/p>\n<h6>The Future of Cannabis and Khat in Uganda<\/h6>\n<p>While the cannabis ban has been overturned, it remains to be seen what the future holds for marijuana and khat in Uganda. As the nation navigates this new landscape, it will undoubtedly face challenges and opportunities alike. Ultimately, the fate of these substances in Uganda rests in the hands of policymakers and the public, who must decide the best path forward for the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Road to Repeal: A Six-Year Battle In 2015, Uganda introduced a law criminalizing drugs and narcotics, including marijuana and khat.
