Doubt, prejudice, and imprisonment: Chileans tell how it is to use medicinal marijuana
Chile's Chamber of Deputies approved a bill six years ago decriminalizing the cultivation and private consumption of marijuana for spiritual, medicinal, and recreational purposes, which is now under Senate review. Chileans can carry less than ten grams or grow up to six cannabis sativa plants at home. Medicinal users require a prescription. Personal stories from Chileans like Brenda Castillo, who uses CBD for her son's cerebral palsy-induced seizures, and Silvia Hernandes, who treats her fibromyalgia and accident-related pains with CBD, highlight the positive effects of medicinal marijuana. However, the law's ambiguity has led to issues like Camila Barra Cárdenas being wrongfully detained for suspected drug trafficking. In Brazil, medicinal marijuana products are regulated by Anvisa, but cultivation is still illegal.
