The legalization of cannabis for medical purposes is again being discussed in Indonesia after a mother named Santi Warastuti staged a peaceful protest during the Car Free Day (CFD) at Bundaran HI, Jakarta, on Sunday (26/6/2022).
Santi stated that she needs cannabis for the treatment of her child who suffers from cerebral palsy, a brain disorder that causes muscle, movement, and coordination problems.
Currently, many countries have legalized cannabis for health purposes. According to Motley Fool, at least 30 countries have implemented such a policy.
On the other hand, global public acceptance of recreational cannabis use is not as widespread. According to an Ipsos survey in 26 countries, only 33% of respondents believe recreational cannabis will be legal within the next 10 years.
Canada has the highest percentage of respondents, reaching 79%. Canada has also legalized the purchase of cannabis by adults since 2017.
Meanwhile, Japan has the lowest percentage at 4%. Indonesia's neighboring country, Malaysia, has a percentage of 21%.
