The Austrian Parliament has legalized the sales and growing of marijuana. Vienna has approved the new law project that allows growing of marijuana and it's later medical usage. Previously marijuana has been used as a narcotic and for it's sales there has been a half-year jail penalty.
The president of the Austrian Pain Research Association Michael Bach has welcomed the law project with the words: "Any initiative that makes it possible to develop and provide new drugs for pain therapy is welcome. Substances drawn from cannabis have been used for medical purposes more and more in the last few years".
Cannabis that contain psychoactive substances like THC or Tetra Hydro Cannabinol and also drugs made with it's usage - are prohibited by the law in almost all the world, except Netherlands, Luxembourg and Jamaica. In the partially self-governed Christianity Freetown that is geographically located inside of the Copenhagen in Denmark, marijuana and hashish are accessible and are not prohibited by the Christianity laws, though are prohibited by the Danish legislation. Medical usage of cannabis is allowed not only in Austria, but also in Canada and USA. |
