Cannabizz 2010 opens in Prague

The Cannabizz 2010 international hemp fair opened in Prague on Friday offering a wide variety of hemp products, from cosmetics and clothes to food and medicine. Several dozen companies from the Netherlands, Austria, France, Germany and the US are presenting their goods. The three-day event is taking place under the watchful eye of the police, but organizers say everything on sale is perfectly legal. Although the Czech Republic has not legalized soft drugs, possession of a small amount of marihuana for one’s own use is not illegal.
