The new law, which will come into effect in six months’ time and which also allows cannabis to be used for scientific and industrial ends, passed by 248 votes in the 401-seat parliament in Kyiv. A full breakdown of the vote wasn’t immediately available. The law was proposed by Prime Minister Denys Smyhal.
The legislation imposes strict controls on cannabis production and distribution. A doctor’s prescription will be required to obtain any medicine containing cannabis. Recreational use of cannabis remains a criminal offense.
No, it isn’t - unless you want to believe the Ukrainian political establishment had any justification to criminalize marijuana before the war.
Do tell… will they be paying reparations to all the Ukrainians they’ve victimized due to this unjustified criminalization in the decades before they essentially admitted that they robbed the people they (supposedly) “represent” of a valuable therapeutic resource?
Only a fucking liberal will celebrate marijuana decrim while conveniently forgetting that the people who decrimmed it are the same kind of political racketeers that criminalized it in the first place.
it is a bad take
