Cannabis in Rwanda is illegal.
History[edit]
A 1959–1960 study showed that cannabis use in Rwanda at the time was confined to the minority Twa people. Negative associations of cannabis with violence, and with the low social status of the Twa, resulted in its usage being confined to that ethnic group.[1]
Reform[edit]
In 2010 the Minister of Health proposed a law to allow cannabis to be used for medical purposes in the country.[2][3]
