				<description lang='fi'>A comment by Wahid Azal: "It is the seminary in Qom which has cleared the way via Grand Ayatollah Rohani and not the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran. These two are separate entities. Of course there are sometimes overlaps between decisions taken in the seminary by certain senior clerics and what the parliament of the Islamic Republic may adopt as laws and legislations, but not in all cases, and certainly not in this case as yet. Official Iranian government scheduling laws are still somewhat draconian and recently they have been replicating many of those adopted by Western governments sometimes verbatim. However, Rohani's 2014 fatwa has created a significant legal grey area in Iran (as well as elsewhere) which can indeed be cited in any court or to any legal official as an important precedent."</description>
