Ukrainian lawmakers on December 21 approved in a second and final reading a bill to legalize medical marijuana. The bill would create a national medical marijuana program to provide access to patients with conditions such as cancer or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) resulting from war. The National Security and Defense Council and the Veterans Ministry have supported the move. The legislation will take effect in six months.

I’m not in favor of recreational use, but studies have shown promising results for medical use in PTSD, Cancer patients, as well as with those suffering from epilepsy. I wish Ukrainians much success with their implementation of this program.
Recreational use is not a bad thing, imho.
Without THC it’s worthless. 😎
THC is good for me. 😁
Of course. Only Tallies would deny people to be relieved from pain, get high and dance to music. We are the Empire of the free!
Hear, hear!
Fucked up! Hard booze is mostly responsible for domestic violence, antisocial behavior and abuse, yet Cannabis is illegal in many civilized countries. Is it a crime to get high? Then forbid high percentage alcohol first! GFY! 😎
Holland is the place to be. Strong beer and coffee shops. 😂
Add the US, Canada, Luxembourg and New Zealand to that list. In April Germany will also legalize it for non-medical use. 😁
Some of the Belgian beer on sale here is ridiculously strong with a 12% alcohol content.
I know. Still i prefer danish Elephant Beer (10%) or Faxe Beer (11%).
I fully agree. I don’t let any government pencil pushers tell me what I can or cannot do in this respect.
