Debates on the medical use of cannabis and drug liberalization as a whole is certainly back on the agenda in Hungary. Amid a strict drug law and growing international tendencies, the Fidesz-led government still firmly opposes a more lenient stance on the matter. Recently, the government went against the joint EU stance and voted against a UN resolution that would pave the way for the legal use of medical cannabis. In the latest development, at the 14th UN Congress on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice in Kyoto on Monday, the Foreign Minister (who by his own admission, has never drunk either any alcohol, or even coffee) said that “unfortunately, what we see is that Brussels supports not only illegal migration but an increased use of drugs.” He explained that “cannabis has recently been reclassified in the UN as an allegedly non-hazardous substance.”
