Even as people are prosecuted for possession or consumption of cannabis and its derivatives every year, the existence of a private firm in Thimphu that has been producing and selling hemp extracts has raised eyebrows.
The firm is selling hemp extract with a 10 millilitre of the extract from the widely grown plant, packaged in a syringe, for Nu 2,000.
Hemp extracts are obtained from marijuana plants (cannabis sativa). Kuensel learnt that the company has been operating for some time.
It was also learnt that the product was not sold through a dedicated outlet, but delivered to individuals after placing their demand. Marketing of the product is mainly through word-of-mouth.
