With roots firmly planted in the mountain Kingdom of Lesotho in Southern Africa, our mission is to be the world's leading supplier of ethically sourced medical cannabis and wellness products

AFRICA’S CANNABIS PIONEER

First country in Africa to legalize medical cannabis.

Lesotho was the first African country to issue licenses for cultivation and manufacturing of cannabis for medical and scientific purposes in 2017.

  • Strong government support for local cannabis industry.
  • Member state of Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs.
  • Proven cannabis hub with a track record of successful GACP cultivation and EU GMP manufacturing with exports to Europe.

We are proud of becoming the first African nation to produce cannabis legally, and we can only see this improving the lives and the health of the people of our great country.
