When in Ukraine legalize psychoactive hemp
The Parliamentary Committee on Public Health received a bill, which is to legalize the use of cannabis for medical purposes.
If adopted, it will be possible in the production of painkillers including psychoactive hemp.
The project is described in detail, who and how can grow cannabis for medical purposes (Now do it legally impossible). Businesses are going to work in the market of psychoactive hemp to be used for medical purposes have to bear significant financial costs, in particular, to acquire the necessary equipment to build the protected premises, to obtain the permits from the state, etc.
"There are no open-air plantations will not only private production protected greenhouses, and even on the balcony will start to grow, - says co-author Borislav Rosenblatt. - If properly organize the process, you can get additional millions in revenue to the budget. " Theoretically, for the bill may vote in the middle of autumn.
One of the lobbyists of the project - the Ukrainian State Service for Drug Control (GCKN). According to the Acting Head of the SDCS Oleg Dzisyaka "We ignore the medicinal properties of cannabis. The world is moving in research cannabinoids, many EU countries have legalized the use of cannabidiol for medical purposes, and we restrict their citizens' access to the healing properties of this plant. But it has traditionally we grow! ".
However, the lawyers there are concerns: after the legalization will be new financial flows. "Much of the country is held" under the flag of "help soldiers ATO, social justice, but the output is the same corrupt schemes. In this case, the SDCS can enter new parameters, licensing conditions for producers - and the process will be corruption trough for it ", - said the lawyer, senior partner of JSC" Kravets & Partners' Rostislav Kravets.
Comment of the Association "Ukrainian industrial hemp"
Members of the Association actively participated in the writing of the text of the normative act. Given the lack of understanding of the Ukrainian society of the need for its adoption and "finding bottlenecks" in the wording of the draft law, it is necessary to prepare for the qualitative rather long process of lobbying the interests of the industry at the level of the national parliament. This is a must do with a view to in the text "not lost" hemp theses, as well as to itself legislative act "does not lay on the shelf" bureaucratic system of his native state.
