Formerly poisoned Ukrainian President Victor Yushchenko is not the only
one suffering anymore. On June 30, he outlawed the possession of
pornography throughout the country, according to
MosNews. Under the new law, a couple of
dirty magazines now qualifies as a criminal offense in a country known
for its religious and conservative roots. The punishment can range from
fines to up to three years in prison. However, there is one important
loophole to avoid prosecution: it's okay to have porn if it's for
"medicinal" purposes. Even while legislating morality, the country
still recognizes porn's purpose as a cure for certain illnesses. In the
U.S., medical marijuana possession
is permitted in some states for maladies like "chronic" back pain. So,
what specific "health problems" can get you out of a porn possession
case?
