Ukraine legalizes medical cannabis
The Verkhovna Rada has passed the draft law No. 7457 on the legalization of medical cannabis in the second reading. This was announced by MP Yaroslav Zheleznyak. The decision was supported by 248 MPs.
“The draft law regulates the circulation of cannabis only in medical, industrial and scientific activities.
The distribution of marijuana for recreational use will continue to be considered a crime and will be investigated by the police in accordance with the law.
The production of medicines will be strictly controlled at all stages. Only legal entities that obtain the appropriate license and GMP certificate will be able to grow under round-the-clock video surveillance with access for the National Police. Each plant will be individually coded to track the movement of plants to the patient.
Medicinal cannabis-based drugs will be available only with an electronic prescription. This prescription will be issued by a doctor according to the patient’s condition, as is currently the case with morphine,” the statement said.
The law comes into force six months after its publication.
