Medical cannabis refers to cannabinoid drugs that are extracted from the Cannabis Sativa plant. These drugs are primarily bifurcated into tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). Medical cannabis includes both psychoactive and non-psychoactive ingredients that are precisely used for medicinal purposes. These ingredients help in treating insomnia, inflammation, depression, anxiety, chronic pain, etc. In Africa, the increasing legalization of medical cannabis have led to the faster approvals of THC- and CBD-infused drugs, thereby driving the market growth.
The growing awareness towards several health benefits of medical cannabis for cancer patients in treating poor appetite and weight loss, reducing pain and muscle spasms, and relieving nausea, is augmenting the market in Africa. Furthermore, the increasing popularity of cannabis-infused edible products, such as pills, chocolates, brownies, cookies, etc., for prolonged treatment of psychotic ailments, is also propelling the product demand. Additionally, due to the presence of low-cost labor resources and favorable geographical conditions, many international players are investing in Africa for producing medical cannabis, which will further continue to drive the market growth.
