 Taulant Balla speaking in the Parliament today

 The leader of the socialist parliamentary group of Albania who is in power, Taulant Balla, said in the Assembly today that in our country there will be no legalization of cannabis, but its use only for medical reasons.

"I have often heard the phrase 'legalizing cannabis' being used badly. There is no legalization of cannabis in Albania, but what we want is to explore best practices on how this agricultural crop creates a new economic cycle. We have always used hemp and its oil in our country. The use will be only for medical reasons", said Balla.

"In this context, for all those who are concerned, I say that North Macedonia benefits from it at least 100 million euros a year from this. Why should we lose this income", Balla emphasized..
