Ukraine votes to legalise medical marijuana

우크라이나, 의료용 대마 합법화 국회 통과 Over to Ukraine now, where the country’s parliament passed a new law on Thursday to legalise medical marijuana with thousands suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder due to the war with Russia. The new law, proposed by Prime Minister Denys Smyhal, passed by a 248-vote majority in the 401-seat parliament in Kyiv and will come into effect six months after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signs the bill. According to one lawmaker medical cannabis is needed and will benefit 6 million Ukrainians including cancer patients. While the law will allow cannabis to be obtained with a doctor’s prescription, recreational use of cannabis will remain a criminal offense. #Ukraine #medical_marijuana #medical_treatment #parliament #post_traumatic_stress_disorder #Denys_Smyhal #Volodymyr_Zelenskyy #우크라이나 #의료용_대마 #Arirang_News #아리랑뉴스 📣 Facebook : 📣 Twitter : 📣 Homepage : 2023-12-22, 09:00 (KST)
