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’s not.

      If you want to lick a politician’s boots because they (supposedly) “fixed” a problem they and their ilk created in the first place, be my guest.

      Don’t expect us non-bootlickers to join you, though.

          Not one person

          Ooooh… the liberal hive-mind doesn’t like me pointing out that they are just as prone to authoritarian bootlicking as the conservatives they pretend they are so different to?

          Oh no! Anyway…

          It’s a bad take.

          No. It isn’t. Does expensive shoe polish taste better than the cheap kind?

              Prove it. Prove that criminalizing marijuana was ever justified.

              Should be easy for a big brain like yours.

                I don’t have to? Its so funny how you’re struggling to get this.

                It’s just a bad faith argument. You’re just wrong and so angry about it like shut up dude. They decriminalized it, that’s that.

                Stop being a chud.
