Should cannabis be legalised in Cyprus? (Public Opinion) | Cyprus Mail
A video that gives no definitive answer, merely shows a selection of views. We asked various people in old Nicosia as well as Stelios Sergides, Press Officer of the Drug Law Enforcement Unit (YKAN).
The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative. Contact us: info@cyprus-mail.com

Look there are 2 active ingredients that are used in the medical field concerning cannabis 1)THC which is psychoactive 2) CBD which is not psychoactive. Both THC and CBD attach to similar receptors in the brain to cause their desired effect. Unlike other drugs that need liver enzymes to be metabolized in the human organism CBD and THC don’t. I am sure you all heard stories on the news of someone taking a whole box of Panadol pills to try to overdose and kill him self. You see this can not happen with THC CBD since the quantity you will need to take is inhuman calculated around 8 tonnes of plant material. Another important point of their use is with conjunction with current medication for faster and better healing. For example use of CBD and THC for anti- inflammatory, anti-anxiety and pain management and use of Warfarin for management of thrombus in post-heart operation patients. Trust me your liver will thank you and you will live longer and better life. Don’t listen to what the media is saying or old doctors (butchers) educate yourself first and take and informed decision later.
caffiene is a drug, alcohol is a drug, yet both are legal and used by all, weed is not as harmful as alcohol, or cigarettes, how many a year die from lung cancer or other smoking related death and yet its widely accepted and every one smokes, no one dies from an overdose of weed, i dont smoke or like weed but think it should be legal world wide . even in its illegal state there is lots of weed in cyprus, its just the trade and the millions of euros from its sales go to criminals instead of in the hands of the government were the money can hopefully go to some good use
Marijuana illigel because of the cigarette and other alcohol. If marijuana ligel other drugs market are going to down. That’s why they didn’t allow the marijuana 😔💚💚💚
Δεν μιλαμε για νομημοποιιση της καναβης ο αλλος, αφου ρωτστε πολιτες, τι ρωτστε αστινομικους τηε διωξης σαν να ειναι οι ειδηκοι? Τι θα πει αυτος? Τοσα λεφτα τρων στη διωξη δηθεν για την καταπολεμιση της κανναβης, αντι να ασχολιθουν με τιποτε ποιο χρησιμο
Εχουν δημιουργησει ενα μονοπολιο νομιμοποιοντας το αλκοολ και οσοι πιννουν αλκοολ στο εν χερι το ποτηρι και στο αλλο χερι το τσιγαρο ετσι δεν ειναι?Αυτα τα δυο πανε μαζι και τα δυο ειναι ναρκωτικα ξυπνατε.
Αν η κανναβη προκαλει ψυχωση τοτε στην ολλανδια γιατι δεν παρατηρητε εξαρση αυτης της ασθενειας?Ολοι ξερουν οτι στην ολλανδια η κανναβη ειναι νομιμη για πολλα χρονια και δεν υπαρχει πανδημια ψυχοσεων σε αυτη τη χωρα.
Σημμερα υπολογιζεται οτι ενας στους τεσσερις καπνιζει κανναβη γιατι δεν παρατηρηται εξαρση η πανδημια ψυχοσικων φαινομενων?Η απαντηση ειναι απλη η κανναβη δεν προκαλει ψυχοση ειναι ενας μυθος που καταριπτεται πολυ απλα χρησιμοποιοντας την κοινη λογικη.Με νομιμοποιηση της κανναβης υπαρχει πιθανοτητα καποιος να τη καταχραστει?
Η απαντηση ειναι ναι αλλα αυτο δεν μπορει να ακυρωνει τη νομιμοποιηση της για τους υπολιπους οι ανθρωποι εξαλλου κανουν καταχρηση σε πολυ πιο βλαπτικες ουσιες οπως το αλκοολ και το τσιγαρο αλλα αθτα πωλουντε χωρις κανενα περιορισμο.Μπορεις να πασ να αγορασεις οσα πακετα τσιγαρο και οσα μπουκαλια αλκοολ θελεις.Γιατι λοιπον δυο μετρα και δυο σταθμα αφου οι πολεμιοι της κανναβης κοπτονται τοσο για τη δημοσια υγεια και ομως οθσιες που σκοτωνουν αποδεδειγμενα πωλουντε χωρις κανενα περιορισμο.Η κανναβη δεν σκοτωσε ποτε κανενα που ειναι το κακο?

Legalize cannabis in Cyprus and watch the tourism industry boom not even to mention the tax revenues from it.
The idea that smoking weed will somehow transform you into a needle-pumping junkie is simply outdated boomers!
lol @ weed being a gateway drug. bunch of old people who have no idea what they’re talking about.
φάρμακα που σκοτώνουν, είναι τα τρόφιμα που τρώμε, και οι γιατροί ναρκωτικά δώσει.

so much misinformation and flat out lies being spoken here. legalise now.
sure and I will start by drinking milk and then move onto alcohol and harder drinks. that gateway crap crap is a myth and rubbish
Many states in america have legalised it, canada, uruguay, jamaica? I think and portugal have decriminalised ALL DRUGS and it does better to go after the dealers and not the users.
Weed should be legalised everywhere
Καλά, αυτός ο Σεργιδης έχασε την είσοδο του συνεδρίου και πήγε σε άλλο νομίζοντας πως πήγε σε αυτό για την κανναβη?

It is pointless to go after cannabis and fight an unnecessary war, it has more medicinal purposes than any other medication on the medicinal side. It is scientifically proven, anyone who disagrees must prove worldwide findings are incorrect. The effects of it are more controllable than alcohol, no one has ever died of an overdose from cannabis. Countless of lives have been taken from alcohol – drunk driving, addiction, alcohol poisoning and more, not to mention the violence, cannabis does not have any of those negative results. The other thing to look at if it was legalized is the government can tax it and profit from it instead of wasting police power and federal taxes on. It is not as harmful as palia kele thinks it is like (narkotika en narkotika) it is not like that with all we know today about cannabis. Todays youths are more likely to be using cannabis and now we are ruing more lives by arresting and prosecuting them, which lets face it, going through a system like that ruins them, all because they may have been self medicating with a plant. The last thing we have to look at is tourism, our country will grow with tourism if it was legalized and we would get some mellow tourists rather than only angry drunk violent tourists ayia napa for example. My opinion is if the government is going to criminalize cannabis the government should criminalize alcohol because it is way worse than cannabis.

Such a shame that so many people (especially the older ones) are stuck in there ways and think that cannabis is so dangerous and leads onto harder drugs yet I bet they don’t blink an eye about tobacco, alcohol and caffeine.Tobacco and alcohol are known to be more dangerous on the human body than cannabis ever would but because it is legal and has been a part of life for so long they think it is ok.The guy saying cannabis has no medical properties is just so out of touch of reality. It has been proven but yet again this is where Cyprus seems stuck in its ways.The idea that it leads onto harder drugs stems from the sources you buy the weed from…some of the people selling it also sell the ‘harder’ drugs and you can be tempted/persuaded to try them, but if you bought from a registered place then none of that would happen. I mean I have smoked cannabis for over 20 years and have always had a job, never missed work because of it and do not use harder drugs.Cyprus needs to move with the times!!!
Really sad video…old people have the belief that cannabis is something bad it is burned in their brains and it wont change sadly, if cannabis is the gateway to harder drugs then in a few years all the 15 year old kids that are smoking pot today (and for the people that think that’s ot happening they do all you have to do is pay attention something many grownups have stopped doing) will be drug addicts in the future it doesn’t work this way cannabis is a weed literally like any other weed that grows everywhere in the world.
For the press officer saying that cannabis has no health benefits am sorry sir but you are falling back start reading and following whats happening in the world.
In the USA scientists were hired recently to prove cannabis has no health benefits for cancer and it in the end the prove the exact opposite, and also sir if it has no health benefits why is it prescribed from doctors and they call it medical marijuana???? why if it causes phycosis and all the other things u mentioned why aren’t the Netherlands a destroyed and damaged country since its legal there for years????
+ the human body has Cannabinoid receptors this means its meant to have and metabolize cannabis in its system whats does that tell us? it tells us one thing people need to do their homework.
Cannabis will be legal in Cyprus sooner or later same with gay marriage and all other things, the world is moving forward old minds will die eventually keep up
eklapsa xD
maybe ask young people and not old fucks? lol
I was depressed, had nothing to lose, and was thinking of taking my own life. I tried once, my mental state has never been better..It stops you from overthinking and just living the moment. That is what some people need. Taking their right away from doing that is worse from anything they can possibly do to themselves. Maybe legalisation is not the solution , but users getting max 8 years only for use is certain not to be the solution .

I want the medical marijuana for pain Where do I start to find a legal way of getting it on this island? I’ve tried three doctors, they just shrug their shoulders and say they don’t know about it!!
