LESOTHO

Lesotho has a legal framework for medicinal cannabis production, which allows for a commercial scale cannabis operation to be conducted under a single licence, including export.

TetraMed holds two Licences for medicinal cannabis in Lesotho.
The Licences allow TetraMed to cultivate, manufacture, supply or distribute, store and export, import and transit within, into and outside of Lesotho.

Economical Production of High-Quality Cannabis

Lesotho is a high-altitude mountainous country with over 300 days of sunshine per year, resulting in ideal humidity and growing conditions for greenhouse cultivation.
Lesotho provides the ability for a high-quality venture with low operation and resource cost, such as its low-cost labour force.
Lesotho’s proximity to South Africa provides access to a large consumer market as well as opportunities to build on its neighbours advanced logistics capabilities, export infrastructure and support institutions.

INCB Compliance

The INCB is the independent and quasi-judicial monitoring body for the implementation of the United Nations international drug control convention. Lesotho has INCB accreditation for its medicinal cannabis industry.

INCB approval allows countries to export medicinal cannabis and without it a country would be in contravention of the United Nations Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs.
