08 Sep 2020

By Skandha Gunasekara The Sri Lanka Medical Association (SLMA) cautioned against legalising cannabis in the current climate of Covid-19. “With the adverse effects of smoking and Covid-19, it is not the proper time to make cannabis use legal,” SLMA President Dr. Indika Karunatilake told The Morning. He also pointed out the rampant drug abuse among the youth. “There is heavy drug use among the youth and (with) this being considered a gateway to such habits, the legalisation of such a substance should be done progressively.”
