Argentina: Thousands march for ‘homegrown’ marijuana
Thousands of people marched through Buenos Aires on Saturday, May 5, to demand the decriminalization of marijuana cultivation.
Despite it being legal to use cannabis for medicinal purposes, cultivation is punishable by law. Marches took places in cities across the country demanding people be allowed to grown their own plants for personal or medical use.
A law authorizing cannabis cultivation was approved last year, but lawmakers have not regulated spaces for production. Among the protesters, many were mothers who cultivate marijuana for medical treatment for their sons.
Yanina Soto, an activist of Mama Cultiva, said, "We cultivate for our children, and for other patients, relatives, that gave a better quality of life, the truth that since we know the plant we have discovered that although it is not a cure, it is an accompaniment.”
