On July 13 at 16:00 p.m., the Verkhovna Rada will convene for an extraordinary meeting initiated by President Volodymyr Zelensky. The Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada Dmitry Razumkov told about it.
People's deputy Alexey Goncharenko added that "tomorrow (July 13 - ed.) an extraordinary meeting of the Verkhovna Rada will be convened at the initiative of Zelensky, at which the legalization of medical cannabis will be considered."
In addition, five more issues were submitted for consideration by parliamentarians.
Let us remind you that in October 2020, the majority of those polled as part of Zelensky's initiative during the local elections supported the legalization of medical cannabis.
On December 22, 2020, the head of the SN faction, Davyd Arahamiya, said that the government decided to include medicinal cannabis preparations in the list of drugs that can be dispensed according to the F-1 prescription ("red prescription").
On April 9, 2021, the Cabinet of Ministers excluded some cannabis-based drugs from the list of narcotic drugs. On June 2, the draft law on the legalization of medical cannabis No. 5596 was submitted to the Council.
