SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Sebastian Basalo, Director and Organizer of Expo Cannabis: "Through the collaboration between civil society and a responsive government, Argentina has created an unprecedented global cannabis landscape. Expo Cannabis stands as a strong testament to this transformation. With over 160 booths featuring more than 500 brands spanning a diverse range of products, from cannabis-based foods and clothing to medicinal items, oils, and creams. What's truly groundbreaking on a global scale is the availability of legal cannabis seeds and seedlings. At Expo Cannabis in Argentina, you can find over 40 different varieties of legal seedlings that people can purchase and legally cultivate in their homes, following a program initiated by the Argentine government allowing the cultivation of up to nine cannabis plants. Furthermore, citizens can transport up to 40 grams of dried marijuana flowers through airports and across the country. This regulation is unparalleled worldwide." 8.

SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) María Victoria Baca Paunero, Cannabis specialist lawyer: "Argentina currently has a complex system regarding cannabis as it is covered by three different legislations. Firstly, there is the criminal legislation, which has been in existence since 1989. This legislation imposes harsh penalties and is primarily aimed at prosecuting consumers and cannabis cultivators. It is rigorously enforced throughout the country. In parallel, there are two administrative legislations. One is the medicinal cannabis law, which aims to protect medicinal use and the overall health and well-being of anyone who needs it, regardless of the pathology, disease, or health issue they may have." 30.
