History
As early as 1959, the year prior to independence from France, cannabis was noted growing throughout Congo, particularly in Pool Prefecture.[2] The market appeared to have increased in that period, leasing farmers to grow cannabis in cassava plots.[3]
During the conflicts of the 1990s, militias controlled cannabis plantations around Brazzaville and Dolisie.[4]
