Abstract

Any discussions surrounding legalisation of recreational cannabis is a taboo in Malawi in view of stiff penalties under the Dangerous Drugs Act 1956 as well as strong roots of religious beliefs against it. This is despite the country paying a blind eye to recreational cannabis tourism for its renowned local cannabis strains known across the global as Malawi Gold. This paper argues that Malawi has a tough choice on whether to decriminalise the industry to earn at least half a billion USD annually or let the black market continue to thrive to the detriment of Malawians’ well-being.
