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.
I’m glad they care about their soldiers this much
If they cared about their citizens (as well as their soldiers) they wouldn’t have criminalized it in the first place.
And that goes for every other country on the planet, too.
How many people in their legislature now do you suppose were around when it was criminalized?
Was it the same institutions that criminalized it or wasn’t it?
what a bad take
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
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 seems to agree with you.
It’s a bad take. Shut up lmfao
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?
This is the most practical legislating I’ve ever read. "Hey, this war thing is real shitty. Why don’t you go burn one and chill for a minute to take the edge off. Healthier (which is better for the economy) than booze
So what do you think the possibility of some Good Ukrainian green exports maybe.
Lmao why is the thumbnail Laura Bailey?
Might be a Kbin client thing. The thumbnail is correct on Lemmy clients.
OK that’s not just me. I’m using Kbin.social, what platform are you using.
User name says they’re kbin as well.
