Chile Approves First Medical Marijuana Farm
Fox News Wednesday 10 Sep 2014 The initiative, presented on May 23 before the Agricultural and Livestock Service, or SAG, is being sponsored jointly by the Daya Foundation and the Santiago municipality of La Florida to produce cannabis oil for use in the treatment of cancer patients. The proposal also receives support from the University of Valparaiso and the Arturo Lopez Perez Foundation, which specializes in oncological treatment. "It's (something) that's being done in other parts of the world. We greatly value the use of this farm for research," Oscar Concha, the metropolitan director of SAG, told reporters. In addition, Concha said that "there's a commitment by the Daya Foundation to fulfilling the established security requirements." Regarding the auditing of the operation, it will be the responsibility of SAG and other entities to perform a complete accounting of the farm's marijuana production, while the cannabis seeds will be imported by the foundation now that it has received the appropriate authorization. "This is, without a doubt, an historic milestone. We're starting to build a road toward alleviating the suffering of many people, we're starting to build a friendlier society," emphasized Daya Foundation president Ana Maria Gazmuri upon learning the news. In Chile, marijuana use is not against the law, but sale and cultivation of pot is prohibited, which in practice makes it illegal. However, for some time the government has been open to the possibility of giving broader authorization for its medical use. http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/health/2014/09/09/chile-approves-first-medical-marijuana-farm/
