Although the national standard was approved on March 29, 2017, Cordoba was the penultimate province to join, on May 5 of this year.

For her part, Laura Vilches, candidate for the national senator in Cordoba for the Reinforcement of the left list, stressed that the sanction was an “important first step”, but clarified that the law continues without “regulation allowing its effective application”.

“We will continue to fight because there are families who urgently need it,” he said, after noting that “it was a conquest of the struggle of young people, health professionals, scientists, patients, families and producers”.

We are tired of procrastination. Its sanction was a conquest of the struggle of youth, health professionals, scientists, patients, families and farmers. But this first important step remains without regulations allowing its effective application. 2/4

National law 27,350 has been in force since April 2017 and with new regulations since November of last year.

Among its main points, it includes actions of promotion and prevention aimed at guaranteeing the right to health; awareness-raising measures aimed at the general population; adequate guidelines and guides for care, treatment and accessibility; free access to hemp oil and other cannabis derivatives for anyone who joins the program.

In addition, it promotes the development of scientific evidence on different therapeutic alternatives to health problems, which do not address conventional medical treatments; research into the therapeutic and scientific purposes of cannabis and its derivatives, in addition to verifying its human efficacy.
