PTSD Patients Could Be Left Behind As Ukraine's Medical Marijuana Law Takes Effect And More Cannabis Updates Worldwide
Ukraine's medical marijuana legalization law took effect earlier this month, some six months after Ukraine's President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, signed a bill legalizing medical cannabis into law. Even though recent studies have confirmed the potential of cannabis and psychedelics to treat Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the new law in the Eastern European country doesn't explicitly list this condition for which the plant can be prescribed, reported Business Of Cannabis.In 2018, the Misuse of Drugs Act was amended to decriminalize the possession of up to 15 grams of marijuana in Antigua and Barbuda. Now, the country's government is seeking to again impose stricter rules around the plant as the earlier policy change confused the public use of cannabis.
