Experts on addiction criticize wording of draft law on cannabis

Experts on addiction will call on MPs to amend the proposed regulations for growing cannabis for personal use in an amendment to the Criminal Code, Jindřich Vobořil, former national anti-drug coordinator, told the ctk news agency. According to experts, the proposed draft legislation will allow growing cannabis for personal use, but not harvesting and processing. They fear that the change will not lead to decriminalization and that the number of people imprisoned for possesion of cannabis will not decrease.
