Cannabis is a plant from which intoxicating and narcotic substances are extracted. Its cultivation, consumption, and sale for this purpose are forbidden. If the application contributes to promoting it or facilitating its use, then it is not permissible to develop it or assist in it. Whoever was ignorant of its reality is excused, but not after gaining knowledge. Any legal obligation or agreement with the company in this regard must be rescinded. It is permissible to work with a company that develops such programs and others, provided that one is limited to permissible programs and does not participate in impermissible ones.
