why is koshi legalizing marijuana farming?
The Koshi provincial government is moving to legalize marijuana farming primarily for economic growth and commercial agriculture. According to the newly unveiled 28-point Minimum Common Program agreed upon by the ruling coalition (UML-CPN), cannabis legalization and commercial herb farming are being prioritized to boost provincial revenue and open up new agricultural opportunities. Alongside marijuana farming, the coalition's policy plan also proposes reviewing the budget, branding local liquor, upgrading provincial hospitals, and addressing human-wildlife conflict.
