Czech President Vaclav Klaus has signed legislation that makes it legal to use marijuana for medical treatment in the Czech Republic, the New York Times website reports today (February 18, 2013).
The legislation had been approved by both houses of Parliament. It allows marijuana to be imported and later grown locally by registered firms licensed for such activity, which had been illegal.
Patients will need a prescription from a doctor to get the drug at pharmacies.
The use of marijuana for medical treatment will not be covered by health insurance.
