Three months after the publication of the results of the National Consultation, the government has released the draft law for the legalization of medical cannabis in the country for public consultation.
The draft envisages the creation of an agency under the Ministry of Health which will regulate this activity.
According to the law, the license for operators who will cultivate cannabis for medical use will be 15 years with the right of renewal.
The license is approved by decision of the Council of Ministers, based on the selection procedure, organized by the Agency.
The total area allowed for the cultivation of the cannabis plant for medical purposes cannot be greater than 150 hectares at the national level.
Likewise, the law states that the license is granted only on covered areas or greenhouses or open areas which cannot be smaller than 5 hectares and not larger than 10 hectares.
Every company that applies for a license must have experience in the field of medical cannabis, and the shareholder who will have 51% of the shares must have a license from the European Medicines Agency or the American one, have a capital of 100 million Lek, a minimum of 15 employees and the payment of an annual fee, equal to 1.5% of the annual turnover.
About 507,000 citizens responded to the questionnaire on the legalization of cannabis for medical purposes, of which 308,000 voted in favor, 148,000 against and 51,000 expressed no opinion.
