Cacti banned ...????

[Pecheneg]

It is interesting all the same to what else you can think of ... if Russia imposed a ban on curly parsley, and in Ukraine cacti equate to drugs and probably impose a ban on the cultivation, because usually no one understands the essence of the issue, but only one word - No way !
Feodosiets can go to jail for passion cacti

Cactus passion in different people start different, but in general, collectors kaktusovody recognize that once saw the beauty of prickly plants, remain hostage to her forever.
 The same has happened with Vladimir (his name he asked not to be called), who is fond of cacti for over 20 years. However, this summer turned into a passion for his trouble: after selling one of its cactus collector was under investigation: law enforcement is charged with trafficking in narcotic substance to it. At the same time kaktusovody Ukraine expressed their concern at the creation of such a precedent and are going to contact the authorities with a request to amend legislation in line with European norms.

First, Vladimir was a cactus, which gradually began to multiply. A biologist by training, he easily perfected his collection, complementing it with new rare instances.
- No one never really was interested in my hobby, cactus breeding law, as we know, is not prohibited. I have a good idea to have grown a few rare instances, and I decided to sell them, put up a notice on one of the sites on the Internet, where it hung without any special attention - said "Cafe" collector.
A little later, and found a buyer, which Vladimir sold cactus. After some time, received another offer, and the buyer offered to come to Nikolaev. The collector agreed and arrived in the city, where he was detained by police: customers both times were Nikolaev law enforcement officers who carried out test purchases.
- The police confiscated all my cacti, certainly I can already say goodbye to them, although there are rare instances, quite large - the price of one can reach a few hundred U.S. dollars, although their value is not limited to money alone. I was charged with trafficking in peyote cactus that contains a narcotic substance. After complaints of my attorney, and also write to the law enforcement agencies of various letters of my biologist colleagues from Ukraine, I was released on bail - said Vladimir.
According to him, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, which forbids the state to appeal to the peyote cactus, Williams came out in July, did not know about him, neither he nor the police - they learned about it later. In addition, according to kaktusovod, he is accused of selling peyote cactus, peyote and not Williams, while it is - different kinds of plants.
 - Moreover, a narcotic substance in sufficient quantity for use is found only in those cacti that grow in Mexico. That they used the Indians. This cactus is grown in Europe, does not contain such a quantity of narcotic substance. In addition, Ukraine is not equipped to determine the quantity of narcotic substance in cacti. Collectors of the country are also concerned about the excitation of criminal case against me, because it is fraught with unpleasant consequences for quite harmless kaktusovodov that never were drug dealers. My colleagues are planning to approach the authorities with a request to change the legislation. In Europe, prohibited only the cacti, which are imported from Mexico, and grow them on a windowsill is not prohibited, - said the collector.
Now the case is being investigated, if they prove guilt kaktusovoda, he could face 5 to 10 years in prison.
As told to "Cafe" senior researcher Syrets dendrological park in Kiev, a board member of Ukrainian Association of cactus lovers Albert Migachev in Ukraine, such precedents did not exist.
 All of this happened because of imperfect legislative base in Ukraine. Cabinet, banning Lophophora Williams does not have, for example, the dangerous consequences come because of her breeding. In addition, banning Lophophora Williams, the authorities banned the Lophophora diffuse, although it also contains the hallucinogen mescaline notorious. Obviously, the authorities do not know about. But most importantly, plants grown in the greenhouse or window culture of our climate bands are physiologically different from those grown at home. They are unable to develop substantial amounts of mescaline. Not only that, peyote grows very slowly and requires special care, at best, growing at a rate of 5-10 mm per year. In order to experience hallucinogenic effects, it is necessary to use at least 300-350 mg of mescaline. If we consider that a gram of peyote contains 0.7 mg of mescaline, it is necessary to use at least 15 medium dried plants with a diameter of 8-10 cm and at the age of 8-10 years. In addition, it is extremely unpleasant to the taste. Now tell me the meaning of all this for a drug addict? - Kaktusovod explained.
 According to him, peyote Williams banned in the U.S. and Russia, and in the latter ban came only because of the "Internet advertising", as earlier this plant none but kaktusovodov collectors are not interested.
 I'll go to a reception at the State Service for Drugs, if not help - we turn to the president. In Ukraine, Lophophora Williams cultivated thousands of people, and where there are drugs? The outputs of the situation is different, for example, can be a separate item to allow its cultivation in private collections, possibly under license or something like that. But you can not jail almost all kaktusovodov, making them at one time criminals drug traffickers. We will not retreat in the protection of their rights - said Albert Migachev.
