Thousands mark 19th annual Marijuana March in Argentina

(5 May 2018) Thousands attended the annual Marijuana March in Buenos Aires Saturday, urging authorities to legalise home-grown cannabis for personal consumption. Protesters gathered at the Plaza de Mayo square and marched towards the National Congress, asking for more research into the benefits of the marijuana plant and its cultivation. In March 2017, the Argentine Congress approved a medical cannabis law. The Medicinal Cannabis Law authorises the free import of cannabis oil for people with refractory epilepsy. However, Valeria Salech, the president of 'Mom Cultivates', an NGO representing mothers whose children suffer from this illness, said the law is not being applied in reality. Although the law is supposed to guarantee that the state oversee the import and supply of medicinal cannabis, as well as promoting the domestic production and research, protesters said none of this has occurred. The Global Marijuana March is marking its 19th year and is celebrated worldwide on the first Saturday of May.
