News » Czech Republic Moves to Legalize Medical Marijuana

The Czech government is working on a new law which would legalize growing and using medical marijuana in the European nation. Much like in the United States, the proposal would limit the distribution to licensed firms and individuals, and likely require patients to register as well.

More than 8,000 Czechs have signed a petition in support of the new legislation, an impressive number for a nation with a population of just 10 million.

The bill is expected to be presented in December, and if it passes could be in place my next summer.
