The TNHA is pleased to announce that the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA) and Minister of Health have reconsidered their stance towards Cannabidiol (CBD) as a prescription-only medicine. New exemptions for companies selling CBD-containing products now allow for the public to access CBD products without a prescription. This is a significant victory for all South Africans, who can now gain free access to CBD and CBD-containing products for the first time since all cannabis-related products were banned decades ago.
