Medical marijuana (weed) is becoming the thing in some countries like Zimbabwe which have already legalised the production of weed for medicinal and scientific uses.
Israel's Together Pharma Ltd is looking to set up a marijuana farm in Uganda to increase its production.
The Israeli company manufactures and distributes marijuana for medicinal use and is investing a lot of money.
Together has reportedly placed an order for marijuana seeds for its farm in the East Africa country.
Apparently, the seeds will be supplied by a weed company in the Netherlands, a country believed to be one of the world's leading marijuana suppliers.
“The order of the seeds represents an important milestone towards growing cannabis on a farm in Uganda and marketing products to a Canadian customer by the beginning of next year,”Times of Israel quotes Together CEO Nissim Bracha.
Limited research shows the marijuana treats muscle spasms, seizure disorders, reduce nausea and vomiting during chemotherapy, improve appetite in people with HIV/AIDS.
The marijuana industry is estimated to be in hundreds of billions of dollars but the exact value worldwide remains unexplained as the vast majority of the market remains illicit.
Sales of legal marijuana are expected to grow to more than $20 billion by 2022.
