Cannabis regulations are quite stringent in the Middle East and Africa. The production, distribution, and consumption of any form of cannabis, including CBD, is considered illegal in the region. The penalty for possession or consumption can be as severe as a death penalty in some of the Middle Eastern countries.

Therefore, due to highly stringent regulations in the Middle East, its cannabis market is yet to witness significant growth. In Africa, cannabis and CBD are illegal. However, despite having very harsh rules for cannabis, the climatic conditions in the region are nearly perfect for its growth.

Moreover, South Africa is the only country with legal status for consumption of cannabis or hemp-based medical products. Furthermore, in Morocco, production, distribution, and consumption of cannabis is illegal and in contradiction to this, Morocco is known to be the largest and one of the major producers of Hashish, i.e., cannabis resin, in the world.
