"Drinking alcohol can make someone more ag...

When Paula Motta discovered medical cannabis in 2017, it was still illegal in Portugal. Her 10-year-old daughter suffered epileptic episodes up to four times a day - some lasting 20 minutes - while the 16 daily pills she was taking were ineffective against her Dravet syndrome.

The teenager continues to take two pills along with two drops of cannabis - one in the morning and one in the evening - and episodes only occur “every fifteen days, for about two minutes”. “Medical cannabi...

This week, it became the largest EU country to legalise recreational cannabis - despite fierce opposition from politicians and various medical associations. Those over 18 are now allowed to carry 25 grams of dried cannabis as well as cultivating up to three marijuana plants at home. The change means Germany now has some of the most liberal cannabis laws in Europe, similar to those in Malta and Luxembourg. Those nations legalised recreational use in 2021 and 2023, respectively...
