A group of medical marijuana users and their families in Santa Fe Province have formed their own association, appropriately called the Medical Marijuana Users Association (Apucam). They define themselves as “activists” committed to studying and promoting the benefits of marijuana use for medicinal purposes. However, first things first, the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes must be regulated throughout the nation. According to agenciafe.com, the group came about when Patricia Molina, the mother of 12-year-old Ignacio, became desperate to find a cure for her son’s chronic epilepsy. In Chile and Uruguay, marijuana for medicinal use has been legalized, while in Brazil a derivative of cannabis has also been approved.
