On 21 April 2020, the Parliament passed a law legalizing cannabis cultivation for medical use. Lebanon became the first Arab country to do so. Cultivation of non-psychoactive hemp was also made legal. Recreational cannabis is illegal for cultivation, trade and personal use in Lebanon. Large amounts of cannabis are grown illegally within the country, especially in the Bekka Valley, and consumed for personal use in private.
