Nepal provincial government
VS
Nepal national government
A provincial government in Nepal has legalized the use and cultivation of marijuana for medical purposes, directly conflicting with the country's national ban on the substance.
This creates a legal and policy dispute between the provincial and national authorities over the regulation of medical cannabis.
The conflict arises within Nepal's federal structure, where the constitution assigns specific rights to federal, provincial, and local governments, with some areas of concurrent jurisdiction.
The provincial government's action tests the boundaries of its constitutional authority, while the national government maintains its prohibition, leading to a legal and administrative standoff.
