Are cannabis-based drugs going to be soon available in Ukrainian drug stores? Ukrainian MP Olha Stefanyshyna revealed on Wednesday that the first marijuana-based medication can be legally prescribed  in Ukraine as early as January 2025.

Stefanyshyna, who sits on the parliamentary medical care committee, said:

“From what I understand, the first registration of a medical cannabis drug is already in progress. We are hopeful that it will be completed in December and that prescriptions for real medical cannabis-based drugs will start in January.”

She added tbat Ukraine now has the necessary regulatory framework in place for medical cannabis products, but they are not yet available on the market.

“Currently, everything is in place for patients to receive medical cannabis-based drugs, except for the cannabis itself. Beyond the regulatory system, someone needs to register these drugs in Ukraine,” Stefanyshyna explained.

Getting off the ground an electronic tracking system monitoring cannabis “from seed to pills ‘ has been the hardest part of the cannabis-based drug regulation policy, but the system is now fully operational, added Stefanyshyna.

Notorious supporter of the concept “in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it needs to be fed less and milked more” “Servant of the People” Danylo Hetmantsev, under the guise of “business requirements”, registered a draft law on the collection of VAT on all foreign purchases, regardless of their value. In other words, every Ukrainian, buying goods of any value and purpose abroad, when sending them to Ukraine, will have to pay an additional fifth part, or 20% of the cost of the goods.
