Wassup Hunters, so this week another country passed a pretty nice law for medical users! Here is a little article.

The Eastern European nation of Romania has legalized the use of marijuana for medical purposes.

Prior to the law change, the possession and use of cannabis for any purpose was illegal in Romania, reports Irinia Popescu at Romania-Insider.

Under the new law, cannabis derivatives may be used to alleviate pains and reduce frequency of seizures in cases of epilepsy, cancer, multiple sclerosis, and certain other conditions, according to Novinite.com.

Tests are currently underway in Romania to determine the effectiveness of using marijuana for Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Tourette syndrome.

Manufacturers will be allowed to apply to the Romanian National Agency for Medicines for official approval to market drugs that contain marijuana by-products like resins or concentrates, reports Sara Gates at The Huffington Post.

Romania is the 10th member of the European Union (EU) to legalize medical marijuana, Novinite.com reported. According to The Huffington Post, the Czech Republic, France and the Netherlands are among the countries in the EU that have already legalized the use of medical marijuana products.

Unclear in the published reports is whether actual cannabis flowers will be allowed under the Romanian medical marijuana scheme. Ionut Fantaziu of Yahoo! News' Romanian edition reports that Laws 1439 and 339, which regulate the use of marijuana for medical purposes, allows derivatives including "dyes, resins or plant fragments"). Are dried cannabis flowers "plant fragments"? Stay tuned.

Purpose of Strain Hunters

Our planet is home to millions of species of animal and plants with their own habitat, and each plays a unique role in the perfect design of nature. Unfortunately many species of plants and animals are victim of uncontrolled human development. The sole intent of Strain Hunters is to identify, locate and retrieve cannabis landraces that have not yet been studied, in order to give scientists and doctors the possibility to further enhance knowledge of the cannabis plant in the medicinal field.


Preservation of Landraces

Cannabis, one of the most ancient plants known to man, used in every civilisation all over the world for medicinal and recreational purposes, is facing a very real threat of extinction. One day these plants could be helpful in developing better medications for the sick and the suffering. We feel it is our duty to preserve as many cannabis landraces in our genetic database, and by breeding them into other well-studied medicinal strains for the sole purpose of scientific research.

Cannabis should not be illegal


One of the goals of the United Nations, published years ago in official reports, was to wipe out the cannabis plant from the face of the earth by the year 2010. In reality this is far from being achieved, because man keeps using the cannabis plant for religious, medicinal and recreational purposes no matter what the law says. Most cultures cannot comprehend how a plant can be made illegal. In most people’s perception, plants and animals stand above a status of legality or illegality, they just exist in a higher design of nature that goes beyond human laws and regulations.

Nevertheless most governments of cannabis- producing countries are implementing drastic measures to destroy crops. Dangerous chemicals are sprayed over fields and over the farmers themselves in most of the third world countries, and the poorest people of the planet are the ones paying the highest price for cultivating a plant that does not kill. But in the economy of scale, where demand dictates supply, the poorest people of the planet have no choice but to cultivate cannabis as a cash crop to feed their children and send them to school. Communities that are isolated in remote areas in the poorest regions of the planet are often the keepers of very special landraces.
