translated from Spanish: Del Caño: “Many pibes and pibas are persecuted for growing marijuana”

The pre-candidate for deputy for the province of Buenos Aires, Nicolás del Caño, participated in the round of interviews of Filo.elecciones and one of the issues he addressed with Julio Leiva was the legalization of marijuana. “We presented a project with Myriam Bregman that proposes the comprehensive legalization of marijuana and end the business of narcos,” del Caño said.
The leader of the Left Front, who will try to access a seat in the National Congress, emphasized those who are currently imprisoned for self-cultivation of marijuana “There is a persecution, when the legalization of medicinal use was conquered, there was a proposal that we made, many sectors made, that left a vacuum with respect to growers, to self-cultivation,” he said.

The former candidate for president for the FIT considered that today there is a “persecution” and revealed the case of a young man in the town of Puán, province of Buenos Aires, arrested by police officers for planting marijuana. The legalization of marijuana is also linked to the fight today for the freedom of all prisoners, all imprisoned growers,” he said. 
Del Caño spoke of Alberto Fernández’s statements in Caja Negra about the legalization of the plant for recreational use and said that “first he has to solve this issue,” in reference to the prisoners for cultivating. The leader born in Mendoza was asked by Julio if he was bothered by the jokes with his surname and replied: “No, the truth is that I always take it with humor. It was always like this.”
