The article body describes licensing: it calls the rules "an enabling provision to issue licences for cultivation, processing, storage, transportation and manufacture of cannabis" and says Section 10 covers cultivation "except for the production of charas". This news item describes the rules as licensed cultivation and does not carry the word "legalising".
