Be progressive and legalise medical marijuana, urges Ras Adiba


KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia should take progressive action to allow the use of cannabis and hemp, especially cannabidiol (CBD), for medical purposes, says Senator Datuk Ras Adiba Radzi.

“This is in line with Strategic Thrust Four of the Action Plan for Persons with Disabilities (OKU) 2016-2022, which is to increase access to quality health services for their well-being,” she said in a statement here yesterday.
