When we talk about laws related to the world of Cannabis, we are reminded of the fearful legal consequences that face offenders of drug-trafficking. But, surprisingly enough, that’s only a small fragment of the legal aspects governing this strange but less known herb. There are many other laws pertaining to the world of cannabis that have nothing to do with drug offenders!
Uses of Cannabis and Related Laws
The Cannabis herb, as we know, are predominantly used for three application areas:
- For medicinal cannabis - to produce medicines for treatment of cancer and other debilitating diseases
- To produce certain types of fiber for industrial uses. Hemp is a very versatile plant with uses ranging from oil, seed, clothing and fiber.
- To produce the intoxicating agent for recreation purposes.
The laws in any country have mainly been created to stop the third application. Its relevance and sustainability comes from the fact that it is the only negative aspect of this healing plant and supposedly produces no beneficial effect?
