Will Lebanon Be the First to Legalize Cannabis in the Arab World?
Lebanon is about to take a historic step for the Arab World with a proposed bill to legalize the cultivation of cannabis for medical use. But in the fertile Bekaa valley in Eastern Lebanon, where communities have been growing cannabis for generations, this news has not gone down well.
VICE’s Rony Karkar finds out why Lebanon is so keen to legalize cannabis, and travels to the village of Yammouneh, where one of the main cannabis farming communities live, to find out why they think they’ll lose out if their livelihood becomes legal.

Lebanon’s Green Gold: The Debate to Legalize Cannabis
Pray for the Lebanon.
Plant of Jannah?
Guess Beirut was just the warning.
مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ.
It would be really grate if some of the very fresh red Lebanese would end up on the market for sale. Fresh unadulterated Lebanese can be some of the nicest hash in the world.
Kherbet Rouha 🇱🇧
This is why Lebanon is the best

Anyone watching this after the Beirut explosion?🤨
It says a lot that they trust the syndicates more than the government
Im from libanon😍❤
Did he just say their cbd causes a bit of hallucination im sure they might be confusing that with paranoia or they got that strong strong lol
mmmm oil 😀
Jesus says in John 6:47 "verily, verily I say unto you, he that believes in me has everlasting life."
Make this man president
Legends.. viva lebanon
"humanity is priceless"
Watching video and smoking weed 🚬😂
Well if plant based drugs are ok, they should make cocaine. Much higher profit margins
I have 41 years of fibromyalgia. I’m currently taking cbd daily, I can’t believe how much your soul feels better.. I use to be on opioids and I was still in a lot of pain. Glad I switched over to cbd!!
"This is welfare humanity is priceless" what a legend other governments need to be like this man
Humanity has no prize – Wow Wonderful ….. it should be legalized every where including INDIA for farmers to make more money but govt wont listen.
2:30 is he saying it’s halal or not?
Anything green is halal, but anything mind altering is haram… That doesn’t make much sense to me.
No one here in 2020?😂
you might say there shits the bomb………
Plant of paradise 😜😜
I can’t believe it!
Kabooomm!
@Vice

wickr::fryejason.
I like the guy in the beginning and his song to the government, and that mayor is chill af may Allah preserve him
yield on 500 acre field: 4,500 Kilograms. Average : 9 Kilograms per acre.
That’s really low.
Might take a little longer with the Beirut explosion
Cannabis still being illegal/feared is like people still having "Satanic Panics" from Dungeons and Dragons. You’re old, get over it, times have changed.
Lebanon needs this. War on plants and a corrupt economy needs to be replaced with liberal agriculutural business and natural health. Sanity is a human right. 🌼🎋🌳🌲🌴
Humanity is priceless
👍🏼 👍🏼 👍🏼 👍🏼 👍🏼 👍🏼 Medicine
Love hearing how some people give it away for free to those looking to use it primarily for health related issues. Straight up gods work
well since everybody else is going to do it -it is a good idea because it will become a better quality and heathy to use -dont think should be using diesel when can press to get better -i know it cheap in the desert that way -but where is the flavor- Alcohol is good -maybe add some brandy to add flavor use dry ice get it all that the plants got -could ship it or take it to a mill -sell it to the government like alcohol and let them sell it -well America buys alcohol from the people -when the law changes they will be buying that too [space race ]
Lebanonian hash is the weekest in the world
This is like America when cannabis was barley becoming legal
Bruh id rather not inhale jet fuel
Good luck to Lebanon and her people
This is how you bring peace to the Middle East
So. What good was this?
If they do I think Lebanese hash will be in stock more often for the m.o.m stores I buy from. Trust me Lebanese Phoenix hash is so good but rare
ARRRAAB
That sad moment when even an Arabic country is legalising weed and Australia still hasn’t. * Sigh * one day
Production to farmers, distribution to business, tax to government.
The Middle East has been growing cannabis for generations, but some of Lebanon’s most established farmers are wary of the latest talks of legalization. We went to the Bekka Valley to find out why what could happen if hashish goes legal.
