Cannabis Legalised by Czech Republic
http://pr.cannazine.co.uk : In an unprecedented show of support for the global medical cannabis community, the Supreme Court in the Czech Republic, has decided in favour of growing cannabis destined for medical applications, according to a news report broadcast by Radio Praha in Prague.

The decision comes on the back of a recent court case which saw a pensioner from the "Central Bohemia" region of the Czech Republic, who was twice convicted of growing cannabis on a vegetable patch, which she then used in the treatment of an ulcer, and chronic foot pain.
***
The Czech Republic isn't alone in terms of European member states which recognise the efficacy of cannabis as a workeable alternative to more traditional clinical medicines.

It was in the summer of 2007 that Germany allowed its first medical marijuana patient to legally buy medical grade marijuana.
***
The Netherlands, Belgium and Portugal have also made "policy changes" to reflect the need for an alternative set of rules for those who use cannabis from medical neccessity and the liberalisation of cannabis seems to be paying off.

3. Portugal?
Shouldn't we demand reason, justice and fiscal responsibility and legalize all drugs also? Did something change in Portugal? Drug use in teens down 15%, deaths 50%, treatment doubled, etc.
