The National Authority for the Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (Nacada) has reiterated that trade in cannabis (bhang) remains illegal in Kenya.
Apart from medicinal use in strict compliance with the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (Control) Act, Nacada says recreational and commercial trade of bhang is prohibited. With the country experiencing heightened political campaigns, there have been calls to legalise recreational and commercial use of cannabis.
