KYIV, Ukraine (AP) – Ukraine´s parliament voted Tuesday to legalize medical marijuana, after the war with Russia left thousands of people with post-traumatic stress disorder that many believe could be eased by the drug.

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 possible legalization of medical marijuana has long been debated in Ukraine. Many people argued in favor of the benefits the treatment can bring, while others feared legalizing medical marijuana would lead to an influx of drugs on the streets of Ukrainian cities.

Interesting that the Ukraine felt that banning churches, legalizing sodomy, and pushing marijuana are important to rush through in a way.

It’s called Bread and Circus, delivered to the Ukranian citizens by the authors of yet another failed Neocon war.

Good to know a country supposedly fighting for "our democracy"™ has their priorities straight. And while doing this, coming before the US Congress and saying "you give me money".

So, will the US fund American pot to Ukraine to drug their citizens and soldiers into submission and cannon fodder?

Burisma should switch from selling natural gas to growing and selling pot. Make Hunter chairman of the board for them and every member of the Biden family will get 6-8 more mansions

When a country joins the Globohomo’s Empire, it has to adopt the core Globohomo policies.

Next up - mass nonwhite immigration.
