An appeal to the world to visit the 2nd Athens Cannabis Expo was addressed by the Minister of Rural Development and Food Stavros Arachovitis speaking at the Athenian-Macedonian News Agency while stressing that "cannabis has a very long history of thousands of years in Greece and only in the last year was criminalized and abdicated .

Unfortunately, ignorance and phobias of the past have led to the criminalization of a crop that can produce excellent products in clothing as well as help our fellow-human being, relieving him of pain but also of a number of other diseases. "

Mr. Arachovitis also noted that "today's government does not have such" unscientific "approaches, that it approaches it scientifically, approached it with a plan, without taboo and without fear, but only on the basis of scientific facts" and concluded "the legislation is changing, evolving to help grow crops. We hope and intend to make cannabis cultivation attractive to the country so that we can attract real investment and create new jobs. "
