According to Science and Tech Minister, Fawad Chaudhry, this decision could place Pakistan in the international cannabidiol (CBD) market, which is worth billions of dollars. CBD is reportedly becoming one of the most popular forms of therapeutic cannabinoid on the market. Chaudhry clarified that the govt will solely control the plant\u2019s production.

Hemp\u2019s fibers can be used to make items like paper, clothing, furnishing fabric, rope and building materials. An entire hemp plant can be used to make fuel and feedstock. Even though the hemp plant also produces THC (i.e. the intoxicating cannabinoid in marijuana), it doesn\u2019t produce enough THC to create intoxicating effects when consumed (i.e. if you smoke hemp, it probably won\u2019t get you high). However, the hemp plant can produce a high concentration of non-intoxicating and medicinally rich CBD.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: #ffff00;\"><strong>MARKET RECAP<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>The benchmark KSE-100 index closed at\u00a0<strong>41,834.85\u00a0<\/strong>after rising\u00a0<strong>457.59<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>points (+1.11%)<\/strong>\u00a0as of September 2,\u00a02020.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><strong>Read More:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/prepistan.com\/blog\/quiz-gk-pakistan-current-affairs-quiz-02-september-2020\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">[Quiz] GK &amp; Pakistan Current Affairs Quiz 02 September 2020<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[dkpdf-button]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today\u2019s top Pakistan current affairs September 03,2020 with download link available in pdf.
