I do not know if you know, but for a very long time, marijuana was considered or rather classified as the most dangerous drug the same as heroin, cocaine META, etc. Seriously. Audited Category IV became home to marijuana in 1961, and virtually immediately blocked any meaningful and less funded research. The United Nations finally sobered up and voted to remove marijuana from the list of the most dangerous drugs. At last !!!
 
Respect guys, better late than never.

But, unfortunately, there is always a but. Each and every government has its own jurisdiction over what is and is not legal, so they may or may not legalize, may or may not reduce penalisation, in a word, they may or may not do anything. It is in us that there is a force to force politicians to somehow force them, demand them, or somehow influence their perception of future voters.

This is a huge historic victory for us, we could not count on more, 'said Kenzi Riboulet-Zemouli, an independent drug policy researcher who closely monitored the vote and position of the Member States.

Almost everyone voted, some were yes, others weren't sure, but fortunately we, the supporters of the legal herb, won with 2 votes. 27 countries supported the reclassification. 25 was against.

Ukraine snapped and said that she would not vote ... although I know from my own experience that a wide stream of seeds flows to Ukraine, I know because I also send them there myself. The United States and European countries were in favor of changing the category. Against China, Egypt, Nigeria, Pakistan and Russia.

The Chinese delegate announced that despite the movements of the United Nations, the country will strictly control marijuana "to protect against harmfulness and abuse. China is a separate category ... pure commune and period.

Well, what now? Unfortunately ... nothing. Someone has to deal with it, some politician will sooner or later hit the string with the inscription Marijuana again and probably everyone will hear it, but who likes this note, it is difficult to judge. It is no secret that pharmaceutical companies are afraid of legal direct access to marijuana by citizens because they simply will not earn anything on it. And even worse, they will lose 100% on such a solution, billions of any currency depending on the country. A large part of the society does not know yet what this Marijuana really is because their knowledge is based on stereotypes and the belief that it is absolutely evil, nothing but nonsense, unfortunately. It would be advisable to spend a few hours a week airtime on the evening news and educate the public about THC, CBD, CBN, CBG and the Overall Positive Aspects of Cannabis. And this knowledge is incredibly much to pass on.
Either way, with a lot of luck, the UN has finally done something useful and meaningful for a change, maybe it will pay off in the way we all expect.
