Cannabis legalization takes another step

On December 2, 2020, the United Nations changed the category of cannabis with 27 votes in favor and 25 votes against it, changing it from the narcotic category to the medical category.

Cannabis was removed from the "Narcotics Convention" and became a medical product.

Prior to this, only more than 50 countries in the world regarded cannabis as a medicinal plant for medical use.
Most countries treat it as a narcotic or drug addiction.

Those who voted in favor were mainly European countries and the United States.
Those who voted against it were mainly Russia, China, Egypt and other countries.

This move may prompt more countries to use cannabis for medicinal purposes and medical research.

At present, marijuana is still prohibited for non-medical purposes, only for medical and research purposes.

大麻合法化又迈进了一步

联合国在2020年12月2号以27票赞成、25票反对的投票结果，更改了大麻的类别，将其从麻醉类别更改为医疗类别.

大麻被从 "麻醉品公约" 之中删除，成为了医疗用品。

在此之前，全世界仅50多个国家，将大麻视为药用植物，用于医疗之上.
大多数的国家都是将其视为麻醉品或者毒瘾物品.

投下赞成票者，主要为欧洲国家及美国.
投下反对票者，主要为俄罗斯、中国、埃及等国.

此举可能促使更多的国家将大麻用于药用和医疗研究.

目前，大麻仍禁止使用于非医疗用途，仅限于医疗和研究。
