Ministerial Order 14/2022 was published on 5 January to introduce the first amendment to Ministerial Order 83/2021 of 15 April. The original Ministerial Order sets out the requirements and procedures for granting authorisations for activities relating to the cultivation, manufacture, wholesale trade, transport, circulation, import and export of medicines, preparations and substances made from the cannabis plant.

The amendment now introduced is intended to address the insufficient regulation of some issues relating to the cultivation of the cannabis plant for medical and non-medical purposes. Specifically, the amendment addresses the cultivation of hemp for industrial purposes and differentiates it from the cultivation of the cannabis plant for other purposes. It also regulates some aspects of the cultivation of the cannabis plant for medicinal purposes.
