Draft to register CBD products to be ready by end of the year


Khairy: There is no proposal to make ketum plants a controlled substance under the Bill.

KUALA LUMPUR: Patients seeking alternative medical treatment may be able to use cannabis-based products by 2023 once the government comes up with a new framework to register cannabidiol (CBD) products by the end of the year, says the Health Minister.

Khairy Jamaluddin said the new committee on developing the cannabis and ketum industry for medical purposes, which he chairs, was set to hold its first meeting on Monday.
