"Greece legalizes medical marijuana sales - It’s the ninth country in the 28-member European Union to do so."

"The Greek parliament has approved a bill to legalize the production and sale of medical marijuana, becoming the ninth country in the 28-member European Union to pass such legislation.

Lawmakers from the country’s ruling coalition, SYRIZA, PASOK and Potami, voted to pass a measure on March 1 which would allow for grower licenses while limiting sales to a government-run monopoly."
