Deputy Health Minister Maryna Slobodnichenko said that after the legalization of medical cannabis in Ukraine, the European Union announced that it is ready to supply medical cannabis to Ukraine, because there are many stocks there.
Slobodnichenko said this in an interview with the Ukrainian News Agency.
“They (the European Union) are very happy about our progress in this area. They say – show the consumers, because they have warehouses of medical cannabis that they are ready to supply to us. But we are talking about medicine, and therefore the consumer is not every person, but patients who suffer from clearly defined diseases,” the official of the Ministry of Health said.
According to her, to date, no one in Ukraine has registered AFI – a substance for the production of medicines from medical cannabis.
AFI is the active substance or active substance of drugs. The medicinal properties of the drug are associated with the physiological effect of API on the body.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, the Ministry of Health has approved the list of diseases and conditions for which medical cannabis will be prescribed. On August 16, the law on the legalization of medical marijuana came into effect.
