Zelensky called for legalizing drugs to treat the trauma of war
Ukrainians need to combat pain, stress and other war-related syndromes with medicinal marijuana.
President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky stated this from the rostrum of the Verkhovna Rada, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Barrier-freeness has a psychological component, so the need for mental rehabilitation is the same as the need for physical rehabilitation,” the president said.
He called for the creation in Ukraine of the strongest rehabilitation industry in Europe.
“This applies to both the construction of rehabilitation centers and the training of relevant personnel. The state will contribute to the creation of the necessary number of jobs in order not only to ensure rehabilitation for our people, but also so that we have the opportunity, the opportunity to become a global exporter of recovery practices and integration into post-war life for everyone, for absolutely everyone who went through and suffered from war,” Zelensky said.
He added that post-war stress should be relieved with cannabis-based medications.
“All the best world practices, all the most effective policies, all solutions, no matter how difficult or unusual they may seem to us, must be applied in Ukraine so that Ukrainians, all our citizens, Ukrainians, Ukrainian women do not have to endure the pain, stress and trauma of war .
In particular, we must finally honestly legalize cannabis-based medicines, (applause) relevant scientific research and controlled Ukrainian production for everyone who needs it,” the Ukrainian president called.
