Several studies found that the existence of evidence of CBD in cannabis-based medicine can help patients with certain diseases. Even so, the product is only for medical purposes. Through a doctor’s prescription at the clinic and hospital is the only method to obtain that type of medicine. By doing this, people would not misuse this decision to allow this type of medicine in the country.

It is important to know that not any party has permission to sell it. Khairy Jamaluddin further explained the decision made. All of these CBD products do not need to go through any provision of the act or to get approval in Parliament. 

The products will also be proposed by pharmaceutical companies and NPRA assessed before finally being registered next year.
