Description

As the research of therapeutic effects of marijuana moves forward, the list of the countries that have legalised marijuana as an ingredient for formulations to be authorised keeps growing. On the other hand, there are those countries where the prohibition is very strict and the possibility to have marijuana legalised for medical uses seems very far; however, does such prohibition limit a human right to health?
