Ukrainian lawmakers have voted to legalize the medical use of cannabis, with 248 lawmakers supporting the bill. The move comes after activists and supporters advocated for medical cannabis to be available for millions of Ukrainians, including cancer patients, individuals with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and wounded soldiers.
