Croatia Makes Medical Cannabis History
"The ancient Romanesque village of Groznjan, Croatia, witnessed a truly historic moment on June 10: the announcement of the first-ever legal shipment of cannabis extract containing psychoactive THC (and non-psychoactive CBD) across the pond from North America to Europe.
Most European countries, as well as many American states that have legalized medical cannabis in some form in recent years, have struggled to create functioning systems, and some areas around Europe don’t provide access to herbal cannabis or specific cannabinoid preparations.
So how did Croatia, a small Balkan country of four million people, manage to pass legislation to allow cannabinoid therapy and enact a functional program within less than a year?"
''I am the man who brought the healing powers of cannabis extracts to the attention of the world and for quite some time, I have been living in Zagreb which is the capitol of Croatia. I find it inconceivable that a country like Croatia which has a beautiful climate, would feel the need to import plant extracts, when in reality they could easily be produced right here. Unemployment in Croatia is very high, so why would the Croatian government prefer to purchase extracts from Canada, when growing the needed plants and producing the extracts, could employ many people here in this region. In my opinion what is going on at present makes no sense and I do not believe any extracts that the Croatian government imports, would have the powerful healing abilities, which the extracts I used to produce have become famous for.''
