Therapeutic marijuana use is has been slowly settling in society, promoting new projects that to decriminalize medical use, and enable users to grow it in the comfort of their homes.
As of December 14, 2017 the World Health Organization (who) pointed out that marijuana no longer should be considered more as a hard drug. This release marked a precedent for the project of law cultivates certain, because this entity stressed, moreover, that the substance known as cannabidiol works as an analgesic, which means that this plant can be used effectively in a complementary manner in medical treatments.
This legislation approved by the House falls on 22 March of this year, emerges as a solution for all those who need or want to consume marijuana for medicinal purposes, provided they have a prescription indicating the drug or the form of Administration that they have given. In this regard, Pedro Musalem (41), medical clinic of the Foundation pro cannabis reform Latin America, stated the following: “the law empowers us to prescribe all kinds of substances for the benefit of patients, we make use of that power and are cannabis.
