Decision by the President of the Republic may take recreational cannabis to square one

Published

em

Discussion of the adult use of cannabis returned to the Assembly of the Republic in June, through the initiatives of the Bloco de Esquerda and the Liberal Initiative. The bills have gone down to the specialty, but today's decision by the President of the Republic may mean that the discussion in the commission ends up not even starting. 

The decision of the President of the Republic could bring discussions about cannabis for recreational purposes in Portugal back to square one. This is because with the possible and probable dissolution of the Assembly of the Republic, after the government budget for 2022, it interrupts the process and the decision on the recreational cannabis bills. The President of the Republic speaks to the country today at 20 pm.

In June, Bloco de Esquerda and Iniciativa Liberal took to parliament two initiatives that contemplated the legalization of cannabis for recreational purposes in Portugal. The debate in parliament ended with the descent of the bills to the Parliamentary Health Commission, chaired by deputy Maria Antónia Almeida Santos.

I am one of the directors of CannaReporter, which I founded together with Laura Ramos. I am from the unique Island of Madeira, where I currently reside. While I was in Lisbon at FCUL studying Physical Engineering, I became involved in the national hemp and cannabis scene and participated in several associations, some of which I am still a member of. I follow the global industry and especially legislative advances regarding the different uses of cannabis.
