Declarations

:

: The Ethical Approval was granted on 28th August 2020 by the Ministry of Health, the Ethics Committee and the National University of Lesotho Institutional Review Board (IRB) REF: ID 94-2020. Before the interview process, I asked the respondents to ask to read a participant information statement and to tick a check box giving consent for participating in the study. They were also assured of their completely voluntary participation. Should anyone decide to or not participate, there would be no undesirable consequences, whatsoever. Because of the sensitive nature of the information about the Cannabis industry in Lesotho, the respondents were further assured that their responses (raw data) would remain confidential and anonymous, and that they would have a right to view if necessary.

: The author has no conflict of interests, financial or otherwise, to declare.
