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.
