Cannabis in Eswatini (Swaziland) is illegal; the herb is referred to as insangu in Swazi. [1] The local strain is known as "Swazi gold" and commands a high price due to its reputation for potency. [1]

Trade

Cannabis is widely grown illicitly in Swaziland; a 2006 UNODC report recognized Swaziland as one of the major producers in Southern Africa. Nigerian criminal syndicates are involved in the trade, with the best-quality cannabis being sent to Europe via South Africa and Mozambique. [2] [3]

Reform

In 2017, a group of Members of Parliament announced that legalizing cannabis in Swaziland could add US$1.63 billion to the economy, potentially tripling the Gross Domestic Product. [4]
