The Supreme Court of Brazil Says Citizens Can Grow Their Own Medical Marijuana at Home
- 2 years ago
Recently, #medicinal #cannabis programs have been adopted by more than 50 countries while other countries like #Uruguay, #Mexico, #SouthAfrica, and #Canada have their recreational use legalized. Other countries have laws that are more restrictive and only allow the use of certain Cannabis-derived #pharmaceuticals which include #Marinol, #Sativex, and #Epidiolex.
Additionally, #Brazil has decided that cannabis can be personally #cultivated. A legal precedent given to home #growers which might lead to more complex legislation using #Argentina as a case study. Due to this decision, rules and regulations must be set by the Ministry of Brazilian #Health to serve as a guide. Furthermore, it was said by Judge Rogério Schietti that the government has refused to take a scientific approach to the issue and this has caused the court to act in that manner.
