Adoption of the law on medical cannabis
As it was previously reported, on December 21, 2023, the Parliament voted in favor of legalizing medical cannabis in the second reading, allowing the use of cannabis-based medicines, their production and research.
After that, deputies from the Batkivshchyna faction registered a draft resolution in parliament to cancel the decision of the Verkhovna Rada to adopt the draft law on the legalization of medical cannabis in the second reading."
This week, on January 16, the parliament "failed" this resolution, thus unblocking the signing of the medical cannabis draft law.
