Join the 6th Annual HempTech Conference on Juneteenth in Ghana
The email was received from NACOC siting a need for CEMT to have an advertising and promotions license before commencing with the program. After 6 years of working with NACOC under two DGs this news is very disappointing this year as Ghana passed their regulations and licensing fees. There is currently no fee schedule for advertising and promotions and the NACOC can arbitrarily charge any fee they wish or deny any application for such license with no set understanding of what classifies and how the license fee is assessed. Ghana previously had an education license as the first LI draft that was passed but on final approval removed it and added advertising and promotions license.
CEMT has since responded to NACOC via email reply and letter to their office requesting the assistance promised in their previous letter in 2025 and plans to continue with the conference in December 2026 after getting the proper license or will move the longest running Hemp Conference in Africa to Malawi or Zimbabwe which both have Hemp legislation and licensing already implemented and running.
We await a response from NACOC and thank everyone for their attempted participation this year. We will see you in December in Ghana.

Ghana passed the Narcotics Control Commission Amendement Bill 2023 on July 12, 2023 just weeks ahead of the 4th Annual HempTech Conference in Ghana organized by CEMT. With efforts from the Rastafari Council Ghana over the last few decades no one thought this day would come! Now the legislative instrument will need to be approved and the Narcotics Control Commission Board will begin setting up regulations for the Minister of Interior to now issue licenses. So, whether you have a license or not you will need the knowledge you will attain from the HempTech Conference and the launch of the Cannabis Institute to be successful in this industry.
