In Ukraine, while there are no official figures, it is estimated that 400,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been injured since the start of the war in 2022. A figure that does not take into account the psychological impact of the conflict, including post-traumatic stress. And many fighters use cannabis to combat the psychological impact of war. Since the legalization of medical cannabis in the country, several voices from the associative, scientific and political world have joined together to demand that the law broaden its scope of application to help relieve the stress of soldiers.
