I wonder what kind of THC content limits they'll set. The Czech gov. set the limits so low (in 2013), that people who actually use marihuana for medical purposes say they need something stronger for their mostly skin conditions, chronic pain management, multiple sclerosis and so on.
Also, the public health insurance does not cover the marihuana based pharmaceuticals. It's pretty much cheaper to grow your own or buy it on the streets, both options giving you more potent substance for far less money.
Marihuana in general is an publicaly tolerated drug in the Czech republic. The use and possetion is not perscuted by the law. Just don't grow it, distribute it, nor sell it. Oh, and having a huge bag of weed on you could make the police/prosecutor think that your intent was to sell it, so careful about that. If you must smoke it, one gram at the time, is the safe way.
TL; DR: The Gov. tried to do something nice for the chronicaly ill. Those people don't have the money to keep the suply going and the medical marihuana is not very potent, so people still grow their own or just buy it from whomever.
EDIT: I just googled a bit, and in early 2019 the gov. proposed amendment to the law concerning the medical marihuana, and, if passed by the legislators, the public health insurance might cover up to 90% of the cost for 30g per month per person. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

All for it. Should be completely legal with perhaps similar controls as has alcohol. Psychedelics too. Funnily enough, just read a book about the history of cannabis, very interesting, and highlights the hypocrisy of governments worldwide on the subject. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

But why?
We have enough fucking problems without adding stoners to the list of headlcases wandering about our streets.
Unless it is a cunning master plan to 'weed' out the gene pool of weaker strains.
Bold and ambitious plan, gets my vote.

One should bear in mind that alcohol also affects different people in different ways. It is not to do with the substance, but the user. If we can't have cannabis, we shouldn't be allowed alcohol.
If you have not tried cannabis yourself, you have had your opinions formed for you, and if you look at the people who have had most influence on those opinions, and the way they behaved, you probably wouldn't be so quick to condemn it.

I'd go with that. Legalise puff but only in high street cafés - not even in the privacy of your own home! That way we get to rejuvenate the ailing town centres and drive people back from on-line shopping and out of town retail parks.

My position in the end comes down to, if you can do something without harm to others and society, then it should be ok to do it. Cannabis does not make one violent or abusive. Alcohol creates far worse problems for society - ban it! And let's ban motorcycles while we're at it - nasty, noisy, dangerous things.
Some subjective points:
Cannabis is not physiologically addictive, although it can be psychologically so.
When I quit it, due to lack of availability as no social connections anymore, I did not undergo any withdrawal symptoms. I wish I could still get it now.
It was better at easing my aches and pains than any prescribed or over-the -counter painkillers, and it had much more manageable side effects.
I slept better with a spliff or two before bed.
I have definitely lost a chunk of creativity since quitting, especially where music is concerned.
I had no problems getting wasted till late when I wanted to, then going to work and functioning perfectly well the next day with a clear head - it doesn't give you a hangover!
And psychedelics - there should be a coming-of-age ceremony for all at, say, 18 years, where you have to take psychedelics in a controlled environment, before you are unleashed on the world. Only caveat being you should have a psychological assessment beforehand to make sure you aren't likely to be vulnerable to psychosis. Set and setting should be carefully considered to optimise the experience. Clinics should be set up for repeat sessions throughout life. Microdosing should be legal, perhaps controlled through the NHS, but it should be a matter of individual choice.
We need to get beyond the stigma of these substances. They could be beneficial to society if approached rationally, which authorities around the world have never yet done (read Michael Pollan's "How To Change Your Mind").
As to smoking tobacco - I wish I'd never discovered it! (it may be that psychedelics could cure my addiction to it without adding any further problems). ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

I've most probably burned more shit than many cunts on here.
I do not partake now as it is not all that it is cracked up to be.

In that vein Heroin is apparently a better pain killer and easier to get off of than Morphine... good luck funding definitive research!
Similar experience here: I gave up tobacco about 6 years ago, big song and dance, "well done! you'll feel better for it!" applause, applause...
'Cept 6 months before I gave up puff, nobody said nowt about it. "Just thought you were short of cash!" I can't say that made me feel any better - nobody asked me if I was doing okay, financially ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |
