👨🏼⚕️🇺🇦Georgian doctors went to work to Ukraine.
The Ministry of Health distributed them in the west of the country, in the city of Kolomiya, Ivano-Frankivsk district. «Some of us are in the cardiology department, some in the ambulance, some in intensive care. We help each other in any way we can," says Dr. Vazha Gaprindashvili.
ℹ️ "Doctor Vazha", with whom we are well acquainted, is known for the fact that in 2019 he was detained by Russian border guards. The authorities of the self-proclaimed Republic of South Ossetia accused him of illegally crossing the de facto border. The court sentenced Gaprindashvili to 1 year and 9 months in prison, but after a large-scale public campaign, he was released after spending 48 days in prison.

The Russian military did not specify exactly what the danger is.
❗️Earlier, one of the Russian experts even allowed a missile strike at the laboratory.

🇬🇪 The President of Georgia said that the country is not trying and does not plan to return the occupied territories by military means.
"Georgia is not trying and does not plan to return the territory to war in the future. This is our unwavering decision. We all see that the war-won territories bring nothing: no development, no self-affirmation, no protection of identity. Today, Georgia's prospect has become even clearer - the path to accelerated European integration," Zurabishvili said.
❗️Also, on the occasion of the anniversary of the events in Tbilisi on April 9, 1989, she pardoned 15 convicts (among them - 7 women, in addition, 6 are citizens of Ukraine).

🚬🌿 This week, the Georgian parliament rejected a bill to decriminalize the possession of marijuana.
Let's dispel all the myths and legends about marijuana use, especially since similar questions arise in social networks.
❗️According to the law of 30.11.2018, a person will not be imprisoned or fined for smoking marijuana, but...only if it happens on a private territory that is not a public place and there are no minors nearby.
⛔️ Bans in Georgia on this topic:
The use of marijuana is prohibited on the street, in cafes, restaurants, parks, squares, stadiums, transport, cinemas, educational institutions, as well as in adjacent territories is punishable by a fine of 800-1200 lari (300-400 $).
📍 the use of marijuana is prohibited for persons under the age of 21. If you have not reached this age, then a fine of 500 to 1500 lari (170-500 $) is expected for smoking.
Driving under the influence of marijuana is prohibited and is punishable by a fine or a one-year imprisonment.
📍for popularization or advertising of drugs, including marijuana, individuals are fined $ 2000, legal entities $ 7,500.
📍acquisition, storage, transportation – all this is a crime. From 5 to 70 grams is a small amount (there is no threat of prison), and more than 70 grams are large and there will definitely be imprisonment.
📍cultivation of up to 151 grams of cannabis does not threaten imprisonment
ℹ️ In Georgia, every third prisoner is serving time for offenses related to the drug sphere, so in any case, I recommend that anyone interested carefully study the laws.
