Prisoner for cultivating his medicine | It takes ten days of …

Today, ten days have pbaded since the arrest of the prisoner Alejandro Di Tullio, after raiding his home and removing the plants that he uses to make cannabis oil at home. medicinal purposes. Arrested on Friday, February 8, he spent the night in a detachment of the gendarmerie. He was later transferred to Unit 28 and is currently in Devoto Prison.

Di Tullio began preparing oil about three years ago, first for his girlfriend who was suffering from scoliosis, then to treat his own panic attacks with the beginning of the schizophrenia.

"My column is practically like a 's, and this brings us tremendous back pain," said his girlfriend, Eugenia, to PáginaI. "We used it in an artisbad way, we started cultivating to treat our medical problems.We also gave my mother a cannabis cream to calm her discomfort when she broke her on We did not do anything similar to something "open to the public." That is, he is currently in detention with a blanket (personal use) that does not has nothing to do with reality, "adds Eugenia.

"Ale has panic attacks, which have worsened because of all that he's been living in. Cannabis has been an effective alternative for not having so much use of psychiatric medication, which has adverse effects," explains Eugenia, who is expecting a baby.

The law on medical and scientific research relating to the medicinal use of the cannabis plant and its derivatives was sanctioned in March 2017. However, the regulation does not include the auto -culture for medical purposes, that is, possession of personal and therapeutic marijuana plants remains a crime. Almost three years after the sanction, there is still no concrete plan to allow state spaces to develop and produce excerpts. Yes, a national registry has been created to receive free oil from the state, but it only plans its import for patients with refractory epilepsy. As a result, people with chronic pain, autism, fibromyalgia, and other conditions that can be treated with this substance can not access it. In this way, growers with medicinal purposes like Alejandro remain in complete helplessness.
