00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:26.786
Self-cultivation, self-cultivation!

00:02:37.482 --> 00:02:41.700
Self-cultivation, self-cultivation!

00:02:42.210 --> 00:02:46.040
We are a group of
mothers and families

00:02:46.040 --> 00:02:48.525
who grow cannabis for our children

00:02:48.526 --> 00:02:51.058
with very serious encephalopathies.

00:02:51.058 --> 00:02:54.057
From epilepsy, cerebral palsy, autism

00:02:54.058 --> 00:02:56.101
whatever you can think of….

00:02:56.102 --> 00:02:58.110
There are many pathologies and

00:02:58.110 --> 00:03:02.295
for a long time we had
our children multi-medicated,

00:03:02.295 --> 00:03:06.059
super-doped, staring at nothing,

00:03:07.375 --> 00:03:10.381
drooling for fourteen years.

00:03:10.857 --> 00:03:12.899
Suddenly we give them

00:03:12.899 --> 00:03:14.998
an extract of a natural plant and

00:03:14.998 --> 00:03:16.986
we have connected children,

00:03:16.986 --> 00:03:19.129
looking into each other's eyes,
trying to speak...

00:03:19.366 --> 00:03:21.952
We have solved our health problems

00:03:21.955 --> 00:03:23.968
by growing for our relatives.

00:03:23.968 --> 00:03:25.867
Now we have a security problem.

00:03:25.867 --> 00:03:27.828
If somebody enter my house to rob

00:03:27.828 --> 00:03:30.880
I can´t call the police
because my yard is full of plants.

00:03:30.880 --> 00:03:33.657
This ranges from incoherent

00:03:33.657 --> 00:03:37.127
to a violation of human rights,

00:03:37.129 --> 00:03:39.134
the right to health.

00:03:42.115 --> 00:03:44.600
The more the issue is debated

00:03:44.600 --> 00:03:46.708
in this house of democracy,

00:03:46.708 --> 00:03:48.848
with more inclusion of legislators,
the better.

00:03:48.848 --> 00:03:51.008
To unify the struggle,

00:03:51.008 --> 00:03:53.657
those of us on the side
of self-cultivation, please!

00:03:56.312 --> 00:03:59.304
I am Laura,
the mother of Josefina Vilumbrales,

00:03:59.309 --> 00:04:01.966
the first girl for whom
the ANMAT authorized

00:04:01.966 --> 00:04:04.752
the entry of
Charlotte's cannabis oil.

00:04:04.752 --> 00:04:07.448
I prepared a few words to read.

00:04:08.053 --> 00:04:10.243
Legislators,

00:04:10.243 --> 00:04:14.022
life put me in this unimaginable

00:04:14.022 --> 00:04:15.923
unimaginable, place.

00:04:15.924 --> 00:04:18.101
For me, everything is very clear:

00:04:18.105 --> 00:04:20.278
enough of interests,

00:04:20.278 --> 00:04:22.436
pettiness and unfounded prejudices

00:04:22.535 --> 00:04:24.815
that prohibit the right to life.

00:04:24.815 --> 00:04:26.986
Stop pushing families into

00:04:26.986 --> 00:04:29.368
the hands of scammers
and drug dealers

00:04:29.368 --> 00:04:31.307
to achieve, in some way,

00:04:31.307 --> 00:04:33.521
to ease the pain of those we love.

00:04:33.521 --> 00:04:35.715
Gentlemen, any substance

00:04:35.719 --> 00:04:39.196
used in excess becomes a drug.

00:04:40.049 --> 00:04:44.564
I had my daughter drugged
with four medications

00:04:44.565 --> 00:04:47.990
that could cause her blindness,
fulminant hepatitis.

00:04:48.343 --> 00:04:50.328
I don't come here to create pity.

00:04:50.329 --> 00:04:53.180
I come to ask that,
once and for all,

00:04:53.189 --> 00:04:55.814
you work for our children,
for our sick people,

00:04:55.814 --> 00:04:58.115
with respect, with responsibility.

00:04:58.115 --> 00:05:01.021
I will not leave without
a positive answer,

00:05:01.021 --> 00:05:03.462
without a legal decision
that allows life

00:05:03.462 --> 00:05:05.963
to people as my daughter,
that suffers from pain.

00:05:24.116 --> 00:05:26.616
Because what you
just saw from Josefina

00:05:26.619 --> 00:05:30.561
moved you and lasted 4 minutes.

00:05:30.561 --> 00:05:35.307
We have lived with this for 9,
10, 15, 20 years!

00:05:40.775 --> 00:05:44.987
MOTHERPLANT

00:06:41.152 --> 00:06:43.270
It was a normal pregnancy,

00:06:43.270 --> 00:06:45.412
it was a Caesarean birth,

00:06:45.412 --> 00:06:48.509
but was planned like that.
Everything normal.

00:06:48.515 --> 00:06:50.419
5 months later

00:06:50.419 --> 00:06:53.683
we began to notice
something strange in her...

00:06:53.683 --> 00:06:57.161
she didn´t do the same things
than Facu,

00:06:57.161 --> 00:06:59.323
her brother, when he was her age.

00:06:59.323 --> 00:07:01.359
When she was 6 months

00:07:01.359 --> 00:07:04.544
she didn´t sit alone
as all the babies do.

00:07:04.549 --> 00:07:08.041
She did not hold herself sit.

00:07:08.041 --> 00:07:10.604
At 7 months she begins
to have spasms,

00:07:10.604 --> 00:07:12.647
which we didn´t know were spasms.

00:07:12.649 --> 00:07:14.528
She begins to bend like this,

00:07:14.528 --> 00:07:17.774
to throw her eyes back,
to bend forward, as if she had colic…

00:07:17.774 --> 00:07:19.970
It was heartbreaking...

00:07:19.970 --> 00:07:22.251
I asked my sisters to make an

00:07:22.251 --> 00:07:25.699
appointment at
the Garraham hospital.

00:07:26.211 --> 00:07:28.724
On Sunday morning we left

00:07:28.724 --> 00:07:30.273
to Buenos Aires,

00:07:30.274 --> 00:07:32.183
Josefina came in having a seizure,

00:07:32.185 --> 00:07:34.386
so they immediately attended to her.

00:07:34.386 --> 00:07:37.265
They told us: she have to stay,

00:07:37.265 --> 00:07:39.534
don't be scared,
it's for observation

00:07:39.534 --> 00:07:42.168
We were hospitalized for a month.

00:07:42.168 --> 00:07:44.556
Next day she was diagnosed.

00:07:44.556 --> 00:07:47.850
It was West Syndrome because
of the form of the seizures,

00:07:47.858 --> 00:07:50.354
because of the developmental delay...

00:07:50.355 --> 00:07:52.433
Everything that she acquired

00:07:52.433 --> 00:07:54.606
was lost with the seizures.

00:07:54.606 --> 00:07:58.076
If she learned to hold
the pacifier with her hand,

00:07:58.076 --> 00:08:01.878
with the seizures
everything was erased.

00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:04.581
It was starting over again.

00:08:05.384 --> 00:08:08.744
There are epilepsies that
are controlled with medication

00:08:08.744 --> 00:08:11.095
but refractory epilepsy is different,

00:08:11.095 --> 00:08:14.468
she took a medication
that worked for 10 days

00:08:14.468 --> 00:08:16.105
and she came back
with strong seizures.

00:08:16.109 --> 00:08:18.395
They added another
and another, and another.

00:08:18.725 --> 00:08:21.439
She had up to 700 spasms a day.

00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:23.868
Later we found out that
each spasm is a seizure,

00:08:23.869 --> 00:08:26.016
so, she had up to
700 seizures a day.

00:08:51.962 --> 00:08:54.396
The developmental delay

00:08:54.396 --> 00:08:57.431
caused by the disease
needs kinesiology.

00:08:57.760 --> 00:09:00.809
She does speech therapy,
occupational therapy,

00:09:00.818 --> 00:09:03.324
equine therapy, hydrotherapy,

00:09:03.324 --> 00:09:05.769
psychomotricity...

00:09:05.769 --> 00:09:08.006
I mean, we have
an activity every day.

00:09:08.006 --> 00:09:10.600
She is like a teenager
in that sense.

00:09:11.130 --> 00:09:14.458
But, well, that is
helping her a lot.

00:09:14.985 --> 00:09:18.147
Once I met a mom from Venezuela

00:09:18.147 --> 00:09:20.797
who was also treating
her daughter there.

00:09:20.797 --> 00:09:24.514
She tells me:
Why don't you try cannabis?

00:09:24.514 --> 00:09:27.316
I look at her because
I had never heard

00:09:27.316 --> 00:09:30.093
that marijuana could
have this therapeutic effect.

00:09:30.192 --> 00:09:32.469
I always heard the bad,
like: It's a drug...

00:09:32.469 --> 00:09:35.579
I look at her and say:
With cannabis?

00:09:35.678 --> 00:09:37.688
With marijuana?

00:09:37.689 --> 00:09:40.013
Rebeca, that´s her name, says:

00:09:40.013 --> 00:09:43.516
Yes, my friend's
daughter in the US

00:09:43.516 --> 00:09:46.707
is trying it out and
it changed her life

00:09:46.806 --> 00:09:48.972
Surf the Internet,
do some research!

00:09:51.378 --> 00:09:53.526
What's going on, pumpkin?

00:09:59.643 --> 00:10:02.361
So we started,
we make the oil for Jose,

00:10:02.361 --> 00:10:04.449
and 10 days after taking it,

00:10:04.450 --> 00:10:07.162
Josefina stops having crisis.

00:10:07.162 --> 00:10:10.042
The first thing we noticed
was that she was calm,

00:10:10.052 --> 00:10:14.968
but we also wanted to try
that oil from the US,

00:10:15.067 --> 00:10:17.224
which was high in CBD

00:10:17.224 --> 00:10:19.794
and helps people with epilepsy

00:10:19.794 --> 00:10:23.208
control their seizures much better.

00:10:23.208 --> 00:10:26.375
We researched, got informed,

00:10:26.474 --> 00:10:29.111
until we managed to bring the oil

00:10:29.210 --> 00:10:31.225
and began to test it in Josefina.

00:10:31.226 --> 00:10:34.243
After 3 months of taking that oil,

00:10:34.243 --> 00:10:37.058
6 months of treatment in total,

00:10:37.058 --> 00:10:40.155
Josefina stops having crisis
for 3 full months.

00:10:40.155 --> 00:10:42.676
We had already reduced
2 anticonvulsants

00:10:42.775 --> 00:10:45.301
and when the crisis stops,

00:10:45.400 --> 00:10:47.815
it was wonderful for us.

00:10:49.188 --> 00:10:52.536
Very good, Miss.
Stop, I give you...

00:10:52.986 --> 00:10:54.687
so you don't spit it out.

00:10:54.864 --> 00:10:56.632
She started to connect.

00:10:56.632 --> 00:10:58.740
The first time she's looked at me...

00:10:58.740 --> 00:11:01.253
crossing her gaze was...

00:11:01.352 --> 00:11:03.634
I mean, it's like...
I don't forget it anymore.

00:11:03.634 --> 00:11:06.415
It´s very hard when you can´t have

00:11:06.415 --> 00:11:09.055
that connection with your child,

00:11:09.055 --> 00:11:11.662
you cannot have that peace.

00:11:13.102 --> 00:11:15.962
When I crossed my gaze
with her, it was...

00:11:15.962 --> 00:11:17.974
the most beautiful.

00:11:17.974 --> 00:11:19.908
I said: Well, this is the way.

00:12:05.607 --> 00:12:08.377
My daughter
has refractory epilepsy,

00:12:08.377 --> 00:12:11.981
6 anticonvulsants,
years of suffering.

00:12:12.079 --> 00:12:14.408
She had awful side effects,

00:12:14.408 --> 00:12:16.767
the most painful that a mother

00:12:16.767 --> 00:12:18.908
can see in her child.

00:12:18.947 --> 00:12:21.973
Javiera was pulling out
fingernails and toenails,

00:12:21.973 --> 00:12:25.520
bleeding and feeling no pain.
Same with hair.

00:12:25.619 --> 00:12:28.577
Or, suddenly, she hit her
head against a wall,

00:12:28.676 --> 00:12:31.404
against the ground... and
that was our day to day.

00:12:31.404 --> 00:12:35.231
So, of course,
we desperately looked for help

00:12:35.231 --> 00:12:37.995
both in Chile and abroad.

00:12:37.995 --> 00:12:41.109
There was no other alternative
because this was it.

00:12:41.208 --> 00:12:43.690
We have to use all
these anticonvulsants

00:12:43.690 --> 00:12:46.257
to control her seizures.

00:12:50.716 --> 00:12:53.716
I don't know anything.
I have to learn everything.

00:12:53.716 --> 00:12:56.080
Here we will to
teach you everything.

00:12:56.179 --> 00:12:58.249
We started with Ana María.

00:12:58.249 --> 00:13:00.932
We saw her one day talking about

00:13:00.932 --> 00:13:04.330
how cannabis was being
used a lot in the US

00:13:04.429 --> 00:13:06.539
to treat certain ailments

00:13:06.539 --> 00:13:10.266
like epilepsy,
with very good results.

00:13:10.365 --> 00:13:12.010
I wrote her on Twitter,

00:13:12.027 --> 00:13:14.082
imagine how things are,

00:13:14.082 --> 00:13:16.997
I did not expect an answer

00:13:16.997 --> 00:13:20.429
Ana María is a famous
actress in our country…

00:13:20.429 --> 00:13:23.128
So, imagine all the people who

00:13:23.227 --> 00:13:25.426
write her on her social networks.

00:13:25.525 --> 00:13:27.938
But she answered me the same day

00:13:27.938 --> 00:13:30.745
It was a Thursday and on Saturday

00:13:30.745 --> 00:13:32.960
we met at 9 am in a cafe.

00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:35.717
Imagine how things turned out

00:13:35.717 --> 00:13:38.842
from one day to the next.

00:13:38.941 --> 00:13:41.332
She gave us a lot of information

00:13:41.332 --> 00:13:43.304
a lot, a lot of information,

00:13:43.304 --> 00:13:45.560
and among that were some links

00:13:45.560 --> 00:13:48.034
about how to make oil.

00:13:48.161 --> 00:13:50.504
On Sunday I went buying

00:13:50.504 --> 00:13:52.388
from dealers.

00:13:52.388 --> 00:13:55.140
I bought several months
buds from dealers;

00:13:55.239 --> 00:13:57.176
I never bought the prepared oil.

00:13:57.275 --> 00:14:00.958
I bought the buds and
watching the video I make the oil.

00:14:00.958 --> 00:14:04.220
A week later, I wrote to Ana María

00:14:04.221 --> 00:14:06.610
to tell that my daughter

00:14:06.610 --> 00:14:08.839
was much better,

00:14:08.898 --> 00:14:11.040
that the crises had subsided

00:14:11.040 --> 00:14:13.466
and that she was
no longer hitting herself.

00:14:13.466 --> 00:14:16.296
Then, she tells me:
What a good news!

00:14:16.395 --> 00:14:18.253
I also have a good report

00:14:18.253 --> 00:14:20.839
from other family that
did the same than you

00:14:20.839 --> 00:14:23.815
whose child didn´t sleep for days

00:14:23.914 --> 00:14:26.321
and when she took the oil,

00:14:26.321 --> 00:14:28.180
she slept all night.

00:14:28.180 --> 00:14:32.006
We will go on with this

00:14:32.006 --> 00:14:35.392
Another person wrote her
and this is how started.

00:14:35.392 --> 00:14:37.793
We were 9 families buying

00:14:37.892 --> 00:14:41.251
on the black market
because there was no alternative.

00:14:41.251 --> 00:14:43.140
All of us trying,

00:14:43.140 --> 00:14:45.543
then getting together
to make the oil...

00:14:45.543 --> 00:14:48.933
They were hours, hours...

00:14:50.007 --> 00:14:53.351
They were 8 hours of evaporation

00:14:53.450 --> 00:14:56.848
because we had no idea
how to do it,

00:14:56.848 --> 00:14:58.927
we did it in a water bath,

00:14:58.928 --> 00:15:01.534
and they were hours,
hours, of evaporation.

00:15:01.534 --> 00:15:03.883
We did a seminar and

00:15:05.086 --> 00:15:07.542
110 families came

00:15:08.218 --> 00:15:10.304
from all over Chile.

00:15:11.865 --> 00:15:14.332
After those 110 families,

00:15:14.332 --> 00:15:16.415
it began to grow, grow, grow...

00:15:16.415 --> 00:15:18.491
The Foundation looked after

00:15:18.491 --> 00:15:22.114
more than 8.000 families,
who are cultivating in Chile.

00:15:26.419 --> 00:15:28.581
There are 3 large

00:15:28.581 --> 00:15:30.781
multicenter clinical studies:

00:15:30.781 --> 00:15:34.047
one for oncologic patients,
another for chronic pain

00:15:34.047 --> 00:15:36.097
and another for
refractory epilepsy.

00:15:36.097 --> 00:15:38.624
3 public hospitals are
involved in this project

00:15:38.723 --> 00:15:42.170
and the municipal health centers...

00:15:42.269 --> 00:15:45.058
Ok. Do do you know,
more or less,

00:15:45.058 --> 00:15:47.476
what stage they are in,

00:15:47.476 --> 00:15:49.488
what they are doing? Which…?

00:15:49.488 --> 00:15:51.913
I know exactly, of course!

00:15:51.913 --> 00:15:53.340
How could I not?

00:15:53.407 --> 00:15:56.193
If I´m at the head of the project.

00:15:56.193 --> 00:15:58.371
Daya Foundation is established

00:15:58.371 --> 00:16:01.535
as an organization dedicated
to scientific research

00:16:01.634 --> 00:16:04.368
promoting cannabis-based
clinical studies in Chile,

00:16:04.368 --> 00:16:06.499
we have already started the first

00:16:06.598 --> 00:16:08.698
of 9 studies that we promote...

00:16:08.698 --> 00:16:11.497
We are committed
to work directly

00:16:11.497 --> 00:16:13.695
with the community
from the beginning,

00:16:13.695 --> 00:16:16.992
empowering patients and
enabling an available path

00:16:17.091 --> 00:16:19.051
which is, undoubtedly,
self-cultivation.

00:16:19.627 --> 00:16:23.369
The only way that
each of us can find out

00:16:23.468 --> 00:16:26.122
when and how to water is by paying

00:16:26.122 --> 00:16:29.583
close attention
to the texture of the earth.

00:16:30.800 --> 00:16:33.218
This plant broke, right?

00:16:33.218 --> 00:16:35.601
When it was first born,

00:16:35.699 --> 00:16:38.134
it only had 4 leaves,

00:16:38.134 --> 00:16:40.124
2 pairs of leaves,

00:16:40.124 --> 00:16:42.808
2 main and the 2 following.

00:16:42.808 --> 00:16:45.561
The 2 main ones broke.

00:16:45.562 --> 00:16:47.184
Like a premature pruning.

00:16:47.184 --> 00:16:49.393
Yes, an early premature

00:16:49.393 --> 00:16:53.278
but it still was able
to take this structure.

00:16:53.376 --> 00:16:55.334
It gave me 2 sticks instead of

00:16:55.334 --> 00:16:57.335
the main one, that came out.

00:16:57.379 --> 00:16:59.379
The same thing that happens

00:16:59.379 --> 00:17:02.123
as we get closer to
the top of the plant.

00:17:02.123 --> 00:17:05.040
I can cut the bud

00:17:05.620 --> 00:17:08.615
and it will tell these branches

00:17:08.945 --> 00:17:12.157
to grow more, right?

00:17:12.430 --> 00:17:15.398
Which means that
she continues to grow

00:17:15.398 --> 00:17:19.071
in branches, leaves
and structure.

00:17:19.374 --> 00:17:21.428
How do we harvest it?

00:17:21.428 --> 00:17:23.848
We cut it off completely, right?

00:17:23.848 --> 00:17:26.550
Once we cut it from the stem

00:17:26.550 --> 00:17:29.409
we can hang it.

00:17:29.508 --> 00:17:33.035
If I get closer and see
the majority crystalline,

00:17:33.150 --> 00:17:36.868
transparent, I have to wait.

00:17:36.967 --> 00:17:39.289
Because when they are milky

00:17:39.290 --> 00:17:42.703
is when we see
the highest production

00:17:42.703 --> 00:17:46.579
or the production of the
cannabinoid reaches the peak,

00:17:46.678 --> 00:17:48.444
which is what we need,

00:17:48.444 --> 00:17:51.475
which is the medicine,
the resin that we obtain.

00:17:55.515 --> 00:17:57.397
Now is planted.

00:17:57.449 --> 00:18:03.441
How cute. Good.
Applause, applause. Good.

00:18:05.211 --> 00:18:07.910
The immense emotion
of seeing someone

00:18:07.910 --> 00:18:10.235
recovering their quality of life

00:18:10.235 --> 00:18:13.517
I don't know...
a family that had

00:18:13.665 --> 00:18:16.120
a 9 years old son
that couldn´t walk

00:18:16.120 --> 00:18:18.213
and suddenly begins to give
his first steps.

00:18:18.312 --> 00:18:21.278
Or a little daughter
who lived isolated,

00:18:21.377 --> 00:18:23.546
disconnected
and began to connect,

00:18:23.546 --> 00:18:26.952
can say mom to her mother,
look her in the eyes,

00:18:26.952 --> 00:18:30.349
eat through her mouth
and not through a probe...

00:18:30.349 --> 00:18:34.442
Small things that for a family
that has a healthy child,

00:18:34.442 --> 00:18:37.049
could sounds ordinary.

00:18:37.049 --> 00:18:39.064
Believe me that for these families

00:18:39.163 --> 00:18:41.329
this change is absolute, radical.

00:19:00.556 --> 00:19:02.596
Helllo, hello! How are you?

00:19:03.195 --> 00:19:05.931
Welcome to the Holy Land!

00:19:23.902 --> 00:19:27.658
As you can see,
we grow the plants in pots.

00:19:27.983 --> 00:19:31.518
Each plant is in 500 liters of a

00:19:31.616 --> 00:19:34.220
specially prepared substrate,

00:19:34.220 --> 00:19:36.255
unlike last year

00:19:36.255 --> 00:19:38.702
that we cultivate directly
on the ground.

00:19:40.531 --> 00:19:42.880
We are looking for concentrations

00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:45.008
and variety of cannabinoids

00:19:45.008 --> 00:19:47.669
for the studies
to be done this year.

00:19:47.768 --> 00:19:49.814
In this case we are looking for

00:19:49.913 --> 00:19:52.701
both THC and CBD,

00:19:52.702 --> 00:19:54.531
and also CBG.

00:20:09.530 --> 00:20:14.078
Normally, direct work with
the plant is done by women

00:20:14.078 --> 00:20:18.708
who are always more careful
than we men.

00:20:18.708 --> 00:20:21.328
Right now, they are eliminating

00:20:21.328 --> 00:20:24.031
and removing all the yellow leaves

00:20:24.130 --> 00:20:28.138
which nutrients have been
already absorved by the plant.

00:20:28.138 --> 00:20:30.223
The effect of yellowing

00:20:30.223 --> 00:20:32.141
is shown when the plant

00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:34.707
begins to absorb
its energy reserves

00:20:34.707 --> 00:20:39.602
which is a desired effect at
the second stage of maturation

00:20:39.602 --> 00:20:43.678
the loss of nitrogen reserves
to transform them

00:20:43.777 --> 00:20:47.588
into sugars and later resin,
which is what interests us.

00:20:53.064 --> 00:20:56.929
Public Health and Safety
Commission of Argentina

00:20:56.929 --> 00:21:00.311
wanted to come to see
how we work here,

00:21:00.409 --> 00:21:02.686
how we transform reality,

00:21:02.686 --> 00:21:05.021
the modifications to Law 20.000

00:21:05.021 --> 00:21:07.376
processed in the
Chamber of Deputies.

00:21:07.376 --> 00:21:11.130
They meet health professionals

00:21:11.130 --> 00:21:12.759
from Daya Foundation and

00:21:12.760 --> 00:21:15.572
a group of patients
who also attended.

00:21:15.671 --> 00:21:17.698
Somehow, they saw
that the possibility

00:21:17.797 --> 00:21:20.446
of implementing this
effectively exists,

00:21:20.446 --> 00:21:23.764
it is possible to do it
from organized civil society,

00:21:23.764 --> 00:21:25.524
which is what we did.

00:21:26.177 --> 00:21:28.295
To be able to help,

00:21:28.295 --> 00:21:30.754
to tell the parliamentarians

00:21:30.853 --> 00:21:32.907
that CBD alone was not useful.

00:21:32.907 --> 00:21:37.017
Because here the import
was already allowed

00:21:37.116 --> 00:21:40.556
but why would you be
spending 300, 400 dollars

00:21:40.557 --> 00:21:43.160
if you can spend 100 dollars,

00:21:43.160 --> 00:21:46.860
50 dollars, having a homegrown?

00:21:46.959 --> 00:21:50.665
Also, CBD does not
work for everyone.

00:21:50.665 --> 00:21:53.229
We received here
very foresighted people

00:21:53.328 --> 00:21:56.363
and a group of mothers
showed them

00:21:56.363 --> 00:21:58.772
the different realities saying:

00:21:58.871 --> 00:22:01.175
He uses CBD, he uses THC.

00:29:18.232 --> 00:29:21.305
Chamber of Deputies
of the Argentine Nation

00:29:21.305 --> 00:29:25.805
Treatment of Law 27,350
Medicinal use of the cannabis plant.

00:29:32.695 --> 00:29:35.000
Today what society has built

00:29:35.099 --> 00:29:37.921
is self-cultivation,
solidarity cultivation,

00:29:37.921 --> 00:29:40.358
collective cultivation…
What is there to do?

00:29:40.359 --> 00:29:42.901
To give a regulatory framework

00:29:42.901 --> 00:29:47.077
to give quality and security
to what is received,

00:29:47.176 --> 00:29:51.581
building possibilities
for everyone.

00:29:52.563 --> 00:29:56.450
Today narcotics law
penalizes mothers

00:29:56.450 --> 00:30:00.457
who need self-cultivation
to guarantee

00:30:00.457 --> 00:30:04.156
the cannabis oil treatment
for their children.

00:30:04.254 --> 00:30:06.694
Put yourself in the shoes
of these mothers

00:30:06.694 --> 00:30:09.529
look them in the face
and be conscientious

00:30:09.530 --> 00:30:11.938
when we vote on this law.
We can change

00:30:11.938 --> 00:30:14.857
the lives of many people
who have ailments

00:30:14.857 --> 00:30:18.152
who are having a hard time.
Thank you.

00:30:23.649 --> 00:30:28.603
The debate is focused on
the medical use of cannabis

00:30:28.603 --> 00:30:33.454
what is not authorized is the
homemade preparation of a medicine

00:30:33.553 --> 00:30:36.088
because we would be
legalizing healing

00:30:36.089 --> 00:30:38.896
and that goes against
the established norms.

00:30:39.189 --> 00:30:41.639
There are different concepts.

00:30:41.639 --> 00:30:45.276
There are ideological
and political concepts

00:30:45.276 --> 00:30:47.623
and something that can´t be denied:

00:30:47.722 --> 00:30:50.198
drug trafficking is big
business in Argentina.

00:30:51.041 --> 00:30:53.131
Democracy!

00:31:02.488 --> 00:31:05.043
Well, let´s vote...

00:31:05.043 --> 00:31:07.549
It is affirmative.

00:31:07.549 --> 00:31:12.616
220 legislators
voted affirmatively,

00:31:13.531 --> 00:31:15.533
there were no negative votes

00:31:15.533 --> 00:31:17.968
and there was only one abstention.

00:31:19.015 --> 00:31:21.878
State will investigate, cultivate

00:31:21.878 --> 00:31:25.035
and produce because
we made changes,

00:31:25.035 --> 00:31:29.158
State must deliver, when ready,
the oil to the mothers.

00:31:32.090 --> 00:31:34.674
Goodwill was seen...

00:31:34.674 --> 00:31:36.826
The words self-cultivation
do not exist,

00:31:36.826 --> 00:31:38.949
but there is a shortcut to there.

00:31:38.949 --> 00:31:41.067
We will have to work hard

00:31:41.067 --> 00:31:44.639
and we will have to
control the State.

00:31:45.102 --> 00:31:47.615
It is urgent, it is imminent

00:31:47.714 --> 00:31:50.412
that this law be enacted
as soon as possible

00:31:50.511 --> 00:31:52.340
so that the State begins to produce

00:31:52.340 --> 00:31:54.522
because although there are patients

00:31:54.523 --> 00:31:57.253
who are cultivating because
is the only way

00:31:57.253 --> 00:31:59.679
there are also others who do not

00:31:59.679 --> 00:32:01.825
because they don't know how to do it,

00:32:01.924 --> 00:32:04.147
or because the criminal law
remains unclear

00:32:04.147 --> 00:32:06.226
and continues to criminalize.

00:32:06.325 --> 00:32:08.538
Today the drug law of
Argentina says

00:32:08.538 --> 00:32:11.130
that a mother has 4 to 15 years

00:32:11.130 --> 00:32:13.375
in prison if she cultivates.

00:32:13.375 --> 00:32:16.507
That is what we should
have modified today

00:32:16.606 --> 00:32:18.034
but it was not.

00:32:18.956 --> 00:32:20.956
Senate of the Argentine Nation

00:32:20.956 --> 00:32:24.456
Voting on law 27,350
Medicinal use of the cannabis plant.

00:32:25.218 --> 00:32:28.718
The free people
of the world respond:

00:32:28.718 --> 00:32:32.391
Health to the great
Argentinian people!

00:32:34.117 --> 00:32:36.386
Next, we are going to vote

00:32:36.386 --> 00:32:39.981
in particular and in general
on the bill.

00:32:39.981 --> 00:32:41.771
It is voted.

00:32:41.794 --> 00:32:44.581
58 affirmative votes

00:32:44.581 --> 00:32:47.522
0 negative votes, 0 abstentions.

00:32:47.522 --> 00:32:52.103
It is communicated to
the Executive Branch...

00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:55.218
May the laurels, that we knew

00:32:55.218 --> 00:32:59.610
how to obtain be eternal

00:33:01.631 --> 00:33:07.102
that we knew how to obtain

00:33:08.129 --> 00:33:10.119
Freedom! Freedom!

00:33:10.119 --> 00:33:13.489
No more prisoners for planting!
Freedom!

00:33:23.020 --> 00:33:25.184
Freedom to Adriana!
No more prisioners for planting!

00:33:25.184 --> 00:33:27.729
Freedom to nature!

00:33:28.552 --> 00:33:32.638
-Delfina needs Adri!
-More love, please!

00:33:34.891 --> 00:33:38.704
Freedom! Freedom!

00:33:38.998 --> 00:33:42.535
My mother has been deprived
of her freedom for 2 days.

00:33:42.661 --> 00:33:45.593
She cultivates because
she has osteoarthritis

00:33:45.692 --> 00:33:47.613
and it needs to be treated.

00:33:47.613 --> 00:33:50.053
For her medicine, nothing more.

00:33:50.053 --> 00:33:52.078
There is no proof of anything.

00:33:52.177 --> 00:33:54.485
My mother is not a dealer

00:33:54.485 --> 00:33:57.269
she must be released,
she is in poor health.

00:33:57.269 --> 00:33:59.715
My mom helps a lot of people.

00:33:59.814 --> 00:34:02.971
She helps a baby with
microcephaly, Delfina.

00:34:02.971 --> 00:34:05.517
Delfina can´t be without the oil.

00:34:05.901 --> 00:34:08.841
Adriana is not a criminal.

00:34:08.842 --> 00:34:11.489
Adriana is a good person,

00:34:11.588 --> 00:34:13.761
a good neighbor, a worker,

00:34:13.860 --> 00:34:15.765
who grew her plants

00:34:15.765 --> 00:34:17.746
to provide medicine

00:34:17.746 --> 00:34:19.732
and a better quality of life

00:34:19.732 --> 00:34:22.829
to a lot of people
who came to her.

00:34:27.187 --> 00:34:30.536
You should take a look
at the information you give

00:34:30.635 --> 00:34:33.740
because I told the
prosecution what you told me,

00:34:33.740 --> 00:34:37.253
and they assured me
it would be ready today.

00:34:37.254 --> 00:34:39.315
So, you gave me
the wrong appointment.

00:34:39.315 --> 00:34:41.951
They took the data from the email.

00:34:47.376 --> 00:34:49.593
I have house arrest,

00:34:49.593 --> 00:34:52.464
I left the prosecutor's
office´s email

00:34:52.464 --> 00:34:54.423
for you to pass the confirmation

00:34:54.423 --> 00:34:56.498
and they are telling me now

00:34:56.498 --> 00:34:58.678
if they have not, they won´t

00:34:58.777 --> 00:35:00.813
transfer me to the doctor
tomorrow.

00:35:00.813 --> 00:35:03.505
Today I am under house arrest.

00:35:03.505 --> 00:35:06.955
Well, they raided me on
Monday, February 20.

00:35:06.955 --> 00:35:10.916
I had 22 plants already grown.

00:35:10.916 --> 00:35:13.022
I grow only once a year,

00:35:13.121 --> 00:35:16.942
with that I cover both
my oil and Delfina.

00:35:16.942 --> 00:35:19.333
In a year, Delfina,

00:35:19.333 --> 00:35:21.834
from 20 seizures, went to none.

00:35:21.933 --> 00:35:25.333
She bit her arms in
each convulsion.

00:35:25.333 --> 00:35:27.623
Now, she doesn´t.

00:35:27.623 --> 00:35:30.592
She started with discharges...

00:35:31.751 --> 00:35:33.921
For Delfi, I had 3 plants

00:35:33.921 --> 00:35:36.080
that were only with CBD content,

00:35:36.080 --> 00:35:39.902
and another plant to make oil

00:35:40.001 --> 00:35:43.041
which is a hybrid of THC and CBD.

00:35:43.140 --> 00:35:45.362
I had the oil for 4 months.

00:35:45.362 --> 00:35:48.280
It took me a year to stabilize
that strain

00:35:48.280 --> 00:35:51.327
plus the plants they
cut in the garden.

00:35:54.523 --> 00:35:56.593
That moment was terrible,

00:35:56.691 --> 00:35:59.509
hearing the crack of the plants

00:35:59.509 --> 00:36:02.513
and knowing that each crack was

00:36:02.513 --> 00:36:06.656
one less syringe
for one more person.

00:36:07.176 --> 00:36:10.157
That hurt me a lot
and the police told me:

00:36:10.157 --> 00:36:14.113
Oh, everyone starts crying
when we cut the plants

00:36:15.005 --> 00:36:17.940
There you feel so much indignation,
because you say:

00:36:17.940 --> 00:36:20.707
I even do Reiki to that plant

00:36:20.707 --> 00:36:22.840
I take care of it with my life,

00:36:22.841 --> 00:36:25.061
I don´t go on vacation, nothing.

00:36:25.061 --> 00:36:27.476
The balance and love that gets…

00:36:27.575 --> 00:36:30.539
when they were breaking
them like nothing,

00:36:30.638 --> 00:36:33.180
they peeled them off, so I said:

00:36:33.180 --> 00:36:36.026
This is… what we are.

00:36:50.802 --> 00:36:53.439
If you go back in the months,

00:36:53.439 --> 00:36:55.669
from the moment you had the seed;

00:36:55.768 --> 00:36:58.955
it started to germinate
and today it is that plant.

00:36:58.955 --> 00:37:02.098
Well, that time, that change,
that process...

00:37:02.098 --> 00:37:05.252
That is the plant:
the reconnection

00:37:05.351 --> 00:37:07.586
of one with nature itself.

00:37:09.250 --> 00:37:11.813
We wrote to Paulina Bobadilla

00:37:11.912 --> 00:37:14.822
before Mamá Cultiva
Argentina existed.

00:37:15.165 --> 00:37:17.092
Many mothers from Argentina

00:37:17.092 --> 00:37:20.152
got in contact with
Mamá Cultiva Chile

00:37:20.152 --> 00:37:22.352
when we didn't even dream of

00:37:22.352 --> 00:37:24.457
having a Mamá Cultiva Argentina.

00:37:24.555 --> 00:37:28.437
She gave us the
Fundación Daya recipe

00:37:28.437 --> 00:37:31.586
and almost all of us
learned with that recipe.

00:37:33.045 --> 00:37:36.206
It was incredible how our stories
repeated themselves.

00:37:36.206 --> 00:37:38.560
The same ones, crossing the border,

00:37:38.560 --> 00:37:42.283
they were the same stories,

00:37:42.382 --> 00:37:45.499
the same pains and the same hope

00:37:45.499 --> 00:37:47.506
of going out,

00:37:47.506 --> 00:37:50.129
of sleeping for more than 4 hours.

00:37:50.129 --> 00:37:52.258
4 hours we just asked...

00:37:52.951 --> 00:37:55.399
This is something that a mother

00:37:55.498 --> 00:37:57.963
gives to another mother.
It's like…

00:37:58.557 --> 00:38:01.022
-It's heali... how is it?
-Healing

00:38:01.022 --> 00:38:03.414
Healing, of course.
It is a recipe...

00:38:03.414 --> 00:38:05.549
It's like with your grandmother:

00:38:05.549 --> 00:38:09.177
What hurts?
Make him an oregano tea.

00:38:09.177 --> 00:38:11.016
This was the same.

00:38:11.016 --> 00:38:13.706
Chilean mothers passing a recipe

00:38:13.706 --> 00:38:15.800
to Argentine mothers,

00:38:15.899 --> 00:38:18.896
who spread all that knowledge,

00:38:18.896 --> 00:38:21.141
plus our own experience

00:38:21.141 --> 00:38:23.347
and the things that one adds

00:38:23.446 --> 00:38:25.407
while going along the way.

00:38:25.407 --> 00:38:29.014
The first crop cost us a lot.

00:38:29.014 --> 00:38:31.080
But then you say:

00:38:31.080 --> 00:38:33.235
Ah, but it's easy

00:38:33.334 --> 00:38:35.301
to other mother…

00:38:35.302 --> 00:38:39.190
Like... really, is like
doing exercise.

00:38:39.289 --> 00:38:43.632
Suddenly you are
an expert in cannabis.

00:38:43.632 --> 00:38:45.986
It's crazy.

00:38:46.525 --> 00:38:48.630
You who are an expert, tell us...

00:38:48.630 --> 00:38:52.578
I say: Am I an expert?
At what moment?

00:38:53.008 --> 00:38:55.372
The empowerment of mothers

00:38:55.372 --> 00:38:57.862
through the teaching of growers.

00:38:58.470 --> 00:39:01.558
That cultural syncretism,

00:39:03.168 --> 00:39:05.634
was the social interpellation,

00:39:05.634 --> 00:39:07.810
the strength and empowerment to

00:39:07.909 --> 00:39:10.396
challenge the health system,

00:39:10.690 --> 00:39:13.962
put ourselves in a
horizontal relationship

00:39:13.962 --> 00:39:18.664
and tell the professional:
we need this, right?

00:39:19.757 --> 00:39:21.879
Our sons,

00:39:22.501 --> 00:39:24.604
our daughters,

00:39:25.139 --> 00:39:28.198
have improved with this substance.

00:39:28.852 --> 00:39:32.782
The crisis have subsided,
but we do this as best we can.

00:39:32.782 --> 00:39:34.908
We need accompaniment.

00:39:48.649 --> 00:39:52.426
You have an engine that
produces high activity,

00:39:52.525 --> 00:39:55.285
but also it produces a large amount

00:39:55.286 --> 00:39:57.941
of heat and excess of activity

00:39:57.941 --> 00:40:01.939
so you need a
system that controls it.

00:40:02.104 --> 00:40:05.158
What the endocannabinoid system

00:40:05.158 --> 00:40:08.839
does is function as
the brain's coolant.

00:40:09.171 --> 00:40:12.491
It makes our brain to develop
its actions

00:40:12.491 --> 00:40:14.310
in a controlled way

00:40:14.310 --> 00:40:16.860
because in the absence
of these cannabinoids,

00:40:16.860 --> 00:40:19.222
neural systems overheat

00:40:19.321 --> 00:40:21.315
and excess information

00:40:21.414 --> 00:40:24.488
can begin to occur, right?

00:40:25.234 --> 00:40:27.604
That allows us to understand

00:40:27.604 --> 00:40:30.582
why cannabinoids can have

00:40:30.582 --> 00:40:33.839
a very interesting
therapeutic efficiency,

00:40:33.839 --> 00:40:37.168
in epilepsy, because epilepsy

00:40:37.266 --> 00:40:39.327
is the clinical manifestation

00:40:39.327 --> 00:40:42.906
of circuits that are
acting uncontrollably, right?

00:40:42.906 --> 00:40:45.045
That produce seizures because

00:40:45.045 --> 00:40:47.539
there is too much neuronal activity

00:40:47.539 --> 00:40:50.144
in some brain nuclei and

00:40:50.144 --> 00:40:54.519
it is seen, in a large
number of patients

00:40:54.618 --> 00:40:57.448
not in all, but in a large number

00:40:57.448 --> 00:40:59.723
that cannabis oil,

00:40:59.723 --> 00:41:01.748
different cannabis oils

00:41:01.748 --> 00:41:03.860
have properties to attenuate

00:41:03.860 --> 00:41:06.448
and even to eliminate

00:41:06.573 --> 00:41:08.443
the seizures completely.

00:41:22.447 --> 00:41:24.452
Cannabinoids are molecules

00:41:24.452 --> 00:41:26.487
that derive from terpenes,

00:41:26.487 --> 00:41:29.009
the most recognized is THC

00:41:29.108 --> 00:41:31.148
in which psychoactivity falls.

00:41:31.148 --> 00:41:34.120
Cannabinoids are
psychoactive molecules,

00:41:34.219 --> 00:41:36.082
produce effects at the brain level.

00:43:08.011 --> 00:43:10.528
Cannabinoids are like any other

00:43:10.528 --> 00:43:13.736
exogenous molecule
that one can ingest.

00:43:13.736 --> 00:43:15.854
They depend on the dose,

00:43:15.953 --> 00:43:17.889
on the administration,

00:43:17.988 --> 00:43:19.976
on the age of the person,

00:43:19.976 --> 00:43:22.061
the moment in life...

00:43:22.908 --> 00:43:25.096
That is why it is so varied and

00:43:25.096 --> 00:43:27.584
there is not an unique response

00:43:27.584 --> 00:43:30.190
from what THC and marijuana do.

00:43:30.191 --> 00:43:32.264
It can do a number of things,

00:43:32.362 --> 00:43:34.494
so for some people it can

00:43:34.494 --> 00:43:36.616
produce beneficial effects,

00:43:36.616 --> 00:43:38.618
one can say this is good for me

00:43:38.618 --> 00:43:40.570
and for other people don´t.

00:43:40.589 --> 00:43:43.629
If we compare it
with antiepileptic drugs,

00:43:43.629 --> 00:43:47.230
cannabis is a much
safer substance.

00:43:47.329 --> 00:43:49.471
With more controlled side effects,

00:43:49.570 --> 00:43:51.514
of less intensity.

00:43:51.514 --> 00:43:53.929
It varies depending on the drug

00:43:53.929 --> 00:43:55.961
with which you compare it.

00:43:56.902 --> 00:44:00.739
Let's see... we gave our
children anticonvulsants,

00:44:00.739 --> 00:44:03.832
or psychiatric medication
for the autistic child.

00:44:03.931 --> 00:44:05.893
Risperidone, sound familiar?

00:44:05.893 --> 00:44:09.050
Rivotril, Clone;
we gave them everything.

00:44:09.149 --> 00:44:11.824
When you give it to them,
to get it out,

00:44:11.824 --> 00:44:14.069
you must do it slowly
because if not,

00:44:14.069 --> 00:44:16.981
it can have a strong
adverse effect.

00:44:17.080 --> 00:44:19.136
That doesn't happen with cannabis:

00:44:19.136 --> 00:44:21.772
you can give and take it out
and nothing happens.

00:44:21.772 --> 00:44:23.906
So that allowed us to play,

00:44:23.907 --> 00:44:26.725
as neurologists do: they play.

00:44:26.824 --> 00:44:28.304
Give him a little more,

00:44:28.304 --> 00:44:30.343
oh, well, give him a little less

00:44:34.452 --> 00:44:37.800
If a child has
refractory epilepsy,

00:44:37.800 --> 00:44:40.625
he didn´t respond to any
traditional medication,

00:44:40.625 --> 00:44:44.400
he tries medicinal cannabis
and it does him good,

00:44:44.499 --> 00:44:48.202
it reduces the seizures
from 200 per day to 5,

00:44:48.301 --> 00:44:50.225
there is no much to think about,

00:44:50.226 --> 00:44:52.786
it is worth facing the cost

00:44:52.786 --> 00:44:56.072
of giving medical cannabis
at the risk that...

00:44:56.072 --> 00:44:58.234
Will it lower the
cognitive properties?

00:44:58.234 --> 00:45:00.317
Maybe, but anyway that child

00:45:00.415 --> 00:45:03.435
cant´t go o school or
even watch a TV show.

00:45:03.435 --> 00:45:06.989
So, actually,
that boy's cognitive abilities

00:45:06.989 --> 00:45:10.323
are increased by not having
200 seizures a day.

00:45:10.644 --> 00:45:12.566
It shouldn´t be described as a

00:45:12.566 --> 00:45:15.422
innocuous substance
because it is not.

00:45:15.521 --> 00:45:18.626
But it doesn´t mean
that it is bad.

00:45:18.626 --> 00:45:22.147
We have been led to
believe this historically

00:45:22.147 --> 00:45:24.102
because of how our society is,

00:45:24.102 --> 00:45:28.071
how the governments
that have ruled us are.

00:45:28.071 --> 00:45:31.490
There is no friendly
view for cannabis.

00:45:32.489 --> 00:45:35.628
This has been stigmatized
so much, right?

00:45:35.727 --> 00:45:38.522
That cannabis, that marijuana...

00:45:38.522 --> 00:45:43.509
Marijuana is one of the 300.000
plants that exist.

00:45:43.510 --> 00:45:45.805
It is a plant.

00:45:59.172 --> 00:46:01.801
If one is looking for certainties

00:46:01.801 --> 00:46:03.999
in efficacy and safety,

00:46:03.999 --> 00:46:05.951
that science asks of us

00:46:05.951 --> 00:46:08.454
through population-based
clinical trials,

00:46:08.454 --> 00:46:11.287
that´d be the great
weakness that cannabis has

00:46:11.287 --> 00:46:15.128
because the trials are with few
patients and for a short time.

00:46:15.227 --> 00:46:18.754
We are still looking
for the certainties.

00:46:18.754 --> 00:46:20.759
Now, what is certain is that

00:46:20.759 --> 00:46:22.962
the symptomatic diseases,

00:46:22.962 --> 00:46:24.919
such as pain and cancer,

00:46:24.919 --> 00:46:26.828
pain and multiple sclerosis,

00:46:26.828 --> 00:46:28.700
malnutrition and AIDS,

00:46:28.798 --> 00:46:30.811
adverse effect of chemotherapy,

00:46:30.811 --> 00:46:33.625
Parkinson's, inflammatory
bowel diseases...

00:46:33.625 --> 00:46:35.655
patients lose life quality.

00:46:35.655 --> 00:46:37.996
This substance would contribute

00:46:37.997 --> 00:46:40.700
in terms of humor,

00:46:40.700 --> 00:46:43.139
pain, sleep and appetite.

00:46:43.238 --> 00:46:47.364
Without being certain,
it is a symptomatic treatment...

00:46:47.463 --> 00:46:50.534
Palliative care doctor has
the best view of this

00:46:50.534 --> 00:46:52.853
because we don´t ask for certainty
to the substance,

00:46:52.853 --> 00:46:55.256
but the patient´s improvement
day to day.

00:46:55.467 --> 00:46:57.481
There is clinical evidence of

00:46:57.580 --> 00:46:59.595
varying degrees for situations

00:46:59.595 --> 00:47:02.671
of pain, spasticity,
multiple sclerosis,

00:47:02.671 --> 00:47:04.780
well-being and quality of life,

00:47:04.780 --> 00:47:06.914
refractory epilepsy,

00:47:06.914 --> 00:47:09.970
some neurological disorders,
such as West syndrome.

00:47:10.395 --> 00:47:13.273
In disruptive behavioral disorders,

00:47:13.372 --> 00:47:15.295
which are the result of

00:47:15.295 --> 00:47:17.651
the child's personality disorder,

00:47:17.651 --> 00:47:20.413
or in autism spectrum disorders

00:47:20.512 --> 00:47:22.379
-all that is ASD-

00:47:22.379 --> 00:47:24.725
associated with insomnia,

00:47:24.725 --> 00:47:27.037
with disruptive behaviors,

00:47:27.952 --> 00:47:31.346
destroying a family nucleus.

00:47:31.635 --> 00:47:34.137
The report of the parents
who have used,

00:47:34.137 --> 00:47:37.748
reports of patients
from other countries...

00:47:37.748 --> 00:47:40.090
there is significant improvement

00:47:40.189 --> 00:47:42.711
not only in the behavioral issue,

00:47:42.810 --> 00:47:44.780
in irritability, which are managed

00:47:44.780 --> 00:47:47.318
by traditional medicine´s drugs,

00:47:47.318 --> 00:47:50.107
but in vital and
important things:

00:47:50.107 --> 00:47:52.386
children begin to focus more,

00:47:52.386 --> 00:47:54.300
they have eye contact,

00:47:54.300 --> 00:47:56.405
some have begun to speak...

00:47:57.085 --> 00:47:59.229
I have just seen a mother,

00:47:59.229 --> 00:48:01.866
not only in her case
but other cases,

00:48:01.866 --> 00:48:04.474
kids who wet themselves,
stop wetting;

00:48:04.474 --> 00:48:07.044
children who did not
eat certain things

00:48:07.044 --> 00:48:09.277
begin to eat everything
and want to try other things;

00:48:09.277 --> 00:48:11.498
Children who did not tolerate

00:48:11.597 --> 00:48:13.684
the friction of certain clothes

00:48:13.783 --> 00:48:16.628
or who wore a fixed pair of shoes...

00:48:16.628 --> 00:48:19.415
they begin to expand their world

00:48:19.415 --> 00:48:21.559
and accept other things.

00:48:21.559 --> 00:48:23.206
So, really, it's... you say

00:48:23.207 --> 00:48:25.358
this thing is like magic

00:48:25.358 --> 00:48:28.042
because there is no other drug
discovered that does that.

00:48:28.212 --> 00:48:30.217
The mother tells me:

00:48:30.217 --> 00:48:32.432
You didn't improve my daughter

00:48:34.110 --> 00:48:36.499
I kept looking...

00:48:36.499 --> 00:48:38.926
As anyone would stare.

00:48:39.036 --> 00:48:41.783
So, I say: Look, the truth is

00:48:41.882 --> 00:48:43.905
that we found an association

00:48:43.905 --> 00:48:46.079
that could work and...

00:48:46.079 --> 00:48:49.696
The explanation that any
doctor would give, right?

00:48:49.795 --> 00:48:52.102
And she says: No, doctor.

00:48:52.103 --> 00:48:54.187
This improved my daughter.

00:48:54.187 --> 00:48:56.273
She put on my desk

00:48:56.372 --> 00:48:58.441
a dropper bottle.

00:48:58.441 --> 00:49:01.730
-What is that?
-Marijuana oil

00:49:01.730 --> 00:49:03.866
What? I stared at it like that

00:49:03.866 --> 00:49:06.984
and she said:
Yes, marijuana oil, doctor.

00:49:07.083 --> 00:49:10.389
Now, my question is:
will you kick me out

00:49:10.488 --> 00:49:12.482
or will you accompany me?

00:49:12.482 --> 00:49:14.539
Look, I never kicked anyone out,

00:49:14.539 --> 00:49:18.472
so I will accompany you.

00:49:18.473 --> 00:49:22.006
But I warn you that I don't
know anything about this.

00:49:30.546 --> 00:49:33.921
I rescued from cannabis
medicine in Canada,

00:49:33.921 --> 00:49:36.029
which is personalized medicine,

00:49:36.029 --> 00:49:38.211
directed to the patient's symptoms.

00:49:38.211 --> 00:49:41.346
That, at times, is forgotten
in our medical practice,

00:49:41.444 --> 00:49:43.856
many times we not only
standardize substances,

00:49:43.857 --> 00:49:46.274
but we standardize patients,
we give 0.5

00:49:46.274 --> 00:49:48.458
to all our patients to rest,

00:49:48.458 --> 00:49:51.057
as if this were a virtue
of the drug,

00:49:51.057 --> 00:49:53.159
that perhaps it is our fault of

00:49:53.159 --> 00:49:55.694
not listening enough
to our patients.

00:49:55.936 --> 00:49:58.086
Cannabis therapy

00:49:58.485 --> 00:50:01.987
is not solved in 7 minutes
in the office,

00:50:02.086 --> 00:50:03.751
nor in 10 or 15.

00:50:03.751 --> 00:50:08.677
It's not take this
every 8 hours, 6 drops.

00:50:08.776 --> 00:50:10.491
It's not like that.

00:50:11.010 --> 00:50:13.310
The dose is the working dose.

00:50:13.310 --> 00:50:15.326
This must be sought.

00:50:15.326 --> 00:50:17.975
It is a trial and error test.

00:50:18.074 --> 00:50:20.308
In general,
it starts with very little,

00:50:20.308 --> 00:50:24.535
it works its way up every
week from drop to drop,

00:50:24.634 --> 00:50:26.800
always sublingual, if possible,

00:50:26.800 --> 00:50:28.802
if not, orally, and

00:50:28.802 --> 00:50:31.999
the therapeutic effect is sought.

00:50:31.999 --> 00:50:34.968
Sometimes we have the
effect with very few drops

00:50:35.067 --> 00:50:38.471
and it seems to us that
it is a very small amount,

00:50:38.471 --> 00:50:40.702
and yet: Look, doctor,

00:50:42.409 --> 00:50:45.834
my son improved enormously.

00:50:45.834 --> 00:50:48.083
There you have to be careful,

00:50:48.083 --> 00:50:51.683
stop there and see how it evolves.

00:50:52.909 --> 00:50:55.076
We have met children with the exact

00:50:55.076 --> 00:50:59.495
same diagnosis and they
take different strains.

00:50:59.495 --> 00:51:01.668
It´s so complex that it´s not

00:51:01.668 --> 00:51:03.699
convenient for the doctor to treat

00:51:03.700 --> 00:51:06.063
the patient with cannabis,

00:51:06.063 --> 00:51:09.563
because it takes too much time.

00:51:09.672 --> 00:51:11.753
The mothers who cultivated,

00:51:11.753 --> 00:51:14.904
who were empowered
by that knowledge,

00:51:14.904 --> 00:51:16.956
are the ones who went

00:51:16.956 --> 00:51:18.655
and will go to the front.

00:51:18.799 --> 00:51:20.872
Here in Argentina, with an oil

00:51:20.872 --> 00:51:23.190
which composition is unknown,

00:51:23.289 --> 00:51:25.045
it is much more handmade.

00:51:25.045 --> 00:51:27.175
That is where self-cultivation

00:51:27.274 --> 00:51:32.297
comes in as the best
source of access,

00:51:32.298 --> 00:51:34.459
the most democratic,

00:51:34.459 --> 00:51:36.487
the cheapest, the safest.

00:52:10.874 --> 00:52:13.049
A plan b of self-cultivation

00:52:13.049 --> 00:52:15.105
would be for the patient to

00:52:15.105 --> 00:52:17.122
cultivate that plant and the

00:52:17.122 --> 00:52:19.166
University of Medicine analize

00:52:19.166 --> 00:52:21.227
the chemotypes´proportions.

00:52:21.325 --> 00:52:23.288
An option to a law that doesn´t

00:52:23.288 --> 00:52:25.036
contemplate self-cultivation.

00:52:36.768 --> 00:52:39.074
One day a mother asked me:

00:52:39.074 --> 00:52:43.120
If they bring you an oil
from California, telling you

00:52:43.120 --> 00:52:45.954
what it has, will you
give it to your son?

00:52:45.954 --> 00:52:48.171
I prefer mine.

00:52:48.171 --> 00:52:50.472
What do you want me to say?

00:52:50.571 --> 00:52:53.084
I prefer mine. I know what it has,

00:52:53.085 --> 00:52:56.394
what it is made of.
I prefer mine.

00:53:17.996 --> 00:53:20.686
Self-cultivation, self-cultivation!

00:53:40.101 --> 00:53:43.188
I am not a criminal,

00:53:44.217 --> 00:53:47.571
I grow marijuana,

00:53:48.414 --> 00:53:51.252
no more prisoners for planting!

00:53:51.548 --> 00:53:55.213
We are fans of the plant.

00:53:55.545 --> 00:53:57.817
We are not fans of oil;

00:53:57.817 --> 00:54:00.141
We are fans of the plant,

00:54:00.141 --> 00:54:02.970
something very important
is happening here.

00:54:02.970 --> 00:54:05.650
We are changing a paradigm,

00:54:05.748 --> 00:54:09.384
something that was illegal and
was prohibited, today...

00:54:09.384 --> 00:54:13.998
medical cannabis is
legal in Argentina.

00:54:15.122 --> 00:54:17.257
Come on!

00:54:21.467 --> 00:54:25.234
It is a long way to go,
this's just one step.

00:54:25.234 --> 00:54:28.297
We won´t stop until
self-cultivation!

00:54:28.380 --> 00:54:30.995
It is the only way out

00:54:32.198 --> 00:54:35.392
to remain free.

00:54:36.572 --> 00:54:38.721
Thank you. Thank you.

00:54:38.722 --> 00:54:41.264
It returns in oil for the people,

00:54:41.363 --> 00:54:44.614
for the hospitals,
for the children.

00:54:44.614 --> 00:54:47.080
Medicine is the right

00:54:47.080 --> 00:54:49.711
that we all have.

00:54:49.810 --> 00:54:51.794
Freedom for the plant,

00:54:51.794 --> 00:54:55.287
for the detainees and for health.
It cannot wait.

00:54:55.832 --> 00:54:59.567
How did the situation
change at this time?

00:54:59.786 --> 00:55:01.867
People are more informed,

00:55:01.867 --> 00:55:04.455
we have more acceptance
of public opinion,

00:55:04.455 --> 00:55:07.429
doctors are beginning
to open their minds,

00:55:07.429 --> 00:55:09.678
there´ll be an observational study

00:55:09.678 --> 00:55:12.869
at Garraham Hospital
with 100 patients,

00:55:12.869 --> 00:55:15.445
so all is reason for celebration.

00:55:15.544 --> 00:55:17.991
The black part is...

00:55:18.090 --> 00:55:22.506
the complete law
wasn´t regulated,

00:55:22.506 --> 00:55:25.015
that we are still criminalized,

00:55:25.015 --> 00:55:27.787
there is a notorious persecution

00:55:27.787 --> 00:55:30.562
of growers and...

00:55:30.562 --> 00:55:33.764
a right is being violated:

00:55:33.863 --> 00:55:35.937
the right to Health.

00:55:35.937 --> 00:55:38.286
There is a short circuit between

00:55:38.286 --> 00:55:41.743
what is voted as law in Congress
and the Executive.

00:55:41.743 --> 00:55:43.978
If we continue voting laws

00:55:43.978 --> 00:55:46.200
that represent the people and then

00:55:46.200 --> 00:55:48.361
they are not carried out,

00:55:48.460 --> 00:55:50.591
Congress should be closed.

00:55:50.690 --> 00:55:53.480
-Ok. Thanks a lot!
-Thank you!

00:56:32.386 --> 00:56:34.557
Well, to make the oil,

00:56:34.557 --> 00:56:36.957
when we present all the stuff,

00:56:37.033 --> 00:56:39.237
is to sterilize all the objects:

00:56:39.237 --> 00:56:41.325
the counter, the place...

00:56:42.883 --> 00:56:45.079
I write down every step I do

00:56:45.079 --> 00:56:47.162
every time I make oil,

00:56:47.261 --> 00:56:49.999
because the results
are always different.

00:56:50.557 --> 00:56:52.722
Also I'm a bit jealous of

00:56:52.723 --> 00:56:55.313
the measurements, right?

00:56:55.313 --> 00:56:58.379
I weigh the number of flowers...

00:57:35.135 --> 00:57:38.298
If I had a precision laboratory,

00:57:38.397 --> 00:57:41.963
it would always come out
the same, but I haven´t.

00:57:41.963 --> 00:57:46.496
Strains also give
different production.

00:57:58.810 --> 00:58:01.542
It must be done with
an electric element

00:58:01.542 --> 00:58:04.579
not gas or fire

00:58:04.579 --> 00:58:07.505
because as alcohol evaporates...

00:58:08.299 --> 00:58:10.379
in fact, you have to ventilate.

00:58:10.379 --> 00:58:12.905
It can cause an accident, so

00:58:12.905 --> 00:58:15.152
be careful because
alcohol is evaporating,

00:58:15.251 --> 00:58:16.931
although one doesn´t realize...

00:58:23.770 --> 00:58:26.507
From 50 g of flowers

00:58:26.507 --> 00:58:29.979
2 or 5 ml of resin can come out.

00:58:31.713 --> 00:58:34.251
2 of this one and 2 of this other

00:58:38.924 --> 00:58:41.472
-Which one first? Anyone?
-Either one

00:59:02.034 --> 00:59:04.010
Now... these.

00:59:27.498 --> 00:59:28.998
And that´s it.

00:59:35.350 --> 00:59:38.636
Joaquin's Tourette
started very strong.

00:59:39.067 --> 00:59:41.174
He drool...

00:59:41.174 --> 00:59:44.577
Socially, for example,
he didn´t play

00:59:44.676 --> 00:59:48.276
with his classmates
in the kindergarten

00:59:48.276 --> 00:59:50.661
he stayed alone...

00:59:50.661 --> 00:59:53.832
It started with involuntary

00:59:53.832 --> 00:59:57.620
movements in his hands,

00:59:57.718 --> 00:59:59.834
he couldn't hold the cup anymore

00:59:59.835 --> 01:00:02.017
because he thought his classmates

01:00:02.941 --> 01:00:05.291
were going to laugh at him,

01:00:05.309 --> 01:00:08.762
that's how it started
until my mom found out

01:00:08.762 --> 01:00:11.910
about medical cannabis

01:00:12.009 --> 01:00:15.255
and we began with it.

01:00:24.750 --> 01:00:27.841
When Maca told me that Joaquin

01:00:27.841 --> 01:00:29.868
had been given that diagnosis,

01:00:29.868 --> 01:00:32.002
Tourette Syndrome,

01:00:32.101 --> 01:00:34.737
I cried a lot and at night

01:00:34.737 --> 01:00:37.102
I started looking on the Internet

01:00:37.102 --> 01:00:39.168
what Tourette Syndrome was.

01:00:39.168 --> 01:00:41.391
It was worse because the videos

01:00:41.490 --> 01:00:45.092
you find are all about
critical patients, right?

01:00:45.879 --> 01:00:48.650
I turned on the TV for a while and

01:00:48.650 --> 01:00:50.816
I saw a mother from Mama Cultiva

01:00:50.915 --> 01:00:53.050
who used oil for her
epileptic child.

01:00:54.243 --> 01:00:56.515
It was like magic because I said

01:00:56.614 --> 01:00:58.523
if that mother uses it...

01:00:58.523 --> 01:01:00.673
I´d already seen that the Tourette

01:01:00.673 --> 01:01:02.688
has involuntary movements like

01:01:02.688 --> 01:01:06.255
electrical issues in the brain.

01:01:06.255 --> 01:01:08.589
I am a Literature teacher,

01:01:08.688 --> 01:01:10.914
I have nothing to do with this.

01:01:11.013 --> 01:01:14.130
But it was just as intuitive, right?

01:01:14.130 --> 01:01:16.340
If they are involuntary movements

01:01:16.340 --> 01:01:18.536
and it has to do with electrical

01:01:18.536 --> 01:01:21.356
circuits in the brain,
maybe that too...

01:01:21.665 --> 01:01:23.957
I started searching and googled

01:01:23.957 --> 01:01:26.005
cannabis and Tourette.

01:01:26.103 --> 01:01:28.403
Later I changed
Tourette and cannabis

01:01:28.403 --> 01:01:30.411
because when I put cannabis,

01:01:30.411 --> 01:01:32.581
seed sale pages appeared...

01:01:32.581 --> 01:01:35.046
well everything, blogs…

01:01:38.260 --> 01:01:40.628
Meanwhile, the thing advanced,

01:01:40.727 --> 01:01:43.140
Joaquin took a medication

01:01:43.239 --> 01:01:45.245
that was terrible...

01:01:45.245 --> 01:01:47.320
the mother stopped giving it to him

01:01:47.321 --> 01:01:49.815
because the adverse
effects were terrible,

01:01:49.815 --> 01:01:51.514
it was Risperidone.

01:01:53.491 --> 01:01:56.610
Joaquin had many tics,
that were combined,

01:01:56.709 --> 01:01:59.488
later he couldn´t eat,

01:01:59.587 --> 01:02:01.604
he had a movement with his hands

01:02:01.604 --> 01:02:03.866
that went inwards...

01:02:03.866 --> 01:02:06.166
he turned his head like that

01:02:06.166 --> 01:02:09.955
and he had hurt himself here,
he´d burned from friction.

01:02:11.071 --> 01:02:13.486
I found at the
University of Düsseldorf,

01:02:13.487 --> 01:02:15.514
in Germany, a double-blind study

01:02:15.514 --> 01:02:19.164
that they had done with
a very small sample

01:02:19.263 --> 01:02:21.315
of about 60 patients,

01:02:21.315 --> 01:02:24.389
and I said well, this is it.
It has worked with THC

01:02:24.488 --> 01:02:26.489
delta9 tetrahydrocannabidiol.

01:02:41.297 --> 01:02:45.125
November 4, 2016, he took
cannabis for the first time.

01:02:45.125 --> 01:02:47.700
We were Macarena, my mom and me.

01:02:47.700 --> 01:02:50.879
Three women looking,
we gave him 2 drops

01:02:50.879 --> 01:02:53.776
and I don't know what we thought,

01:02:53.874 --> 01:02:56.053
that Joaquin would started

01:02:56.053 --> 01:02:58.093
to see red flying elephants...

01:02:58.093 --> 01:03:00.129
we were there attentive…

01:03:01.466 --> 01:03:04.886
after taking the drops,
he went to take a nap...

01:03:04.886 --> 01:03:06.631
He slept for 2 hours and a half...

01:03:07.550 --> 01:03:10.218
When he got up he said:
I'm hungry

01:03:11.093 --> 01:03:14.521
So that was Joaquín's reaction
and that's where we started.

01:03:56.079 --> 01:03:58.111
Joaquin began to improve, that is,

01:03:58.111 --> 01:04:01.955
socially well, he no longer drool.

01:04:02.949 --> 01:04:06.133
Well... well. He improved a lot.

01:04:06.954 --> 01:04:09.878
It's what I always say:
medical cannabis

01:04:09.878 --> 01:04:12.665
doesn't work miracles, it helps.

01:04:14.463 --> 01:04:17.494
It does have its ups and downs.

01:04:17.789 --> 01:04:20.990
Yesterday, for example,
he had a bad rise...

01:04:21.507 --> 01:04:23.661
he was bad.

01:04:23.719 --> 01:04:26.570
But not today; today was better.

01:04:51.334 --> 01:04:54.126
I cultivated and began to...

01:04:55.957 --> 01:04:57.686
to continue, right?

01:04:57.686 --> 01:04:59.854
The laboratory at home was...

01:04:59.854 --> 01:05:03.084
I had a scale, I had a shaker and

01:05:03.084 --> 01:05:05.199
I had a friend who told me:

01:05:05.298 --> 01:05:08.296
You add more and
more years in prison

01:05:09.763 --> 01:05:12.029
I was scared there because I...

01:05:12.029 --> 01:05:14.478
I didn't want to be imprisoned

01:05:14.577 --> 01:05:17.366
because if I went imprisoned,

01:05:17.366 --> 01:05:19.621
everything would collapse.

01:05:19.621 --> 01:05:22.423
I had taken this into my hands,

01:05:22.423 --> 01:05:24.601
Macarena was taking care of Joaquín…

01:05:24.601 --> 01:05:26.834
When they ask me why you
and not the mother

01:05:26.834 --> 01:05:30.280
Well, the mother was taking care
of that boy who was a volcano,

01:05:30.379 --> 01:05:33.409
and there was a grandmother
who wanted to help.

01:05:33.409 --> 01:05:36.118
Sometimes that doesn't happen.
It this case, it does.

01:05:36.217 --> 01:05:38.049
Grandma was the one who came out.

01:05:41.288 --> 01:05:44.052
We started with the
writ of protection

01:05:44.052 --> 01:05:46.014
beginning a movement that was

01:05:46.015 --> 01:05:48.096
I sign for Joaquin and

01:05:48.115 --> 01:05:50.714
we collected 6,200 signatures.

01:05:51.212 --> 01:05:53.891
If the protection hadn´t come out,

01:05:53.891 --> 01:05:56.276
I´d have continued doing the same.

01:05:57.679 --> 01:06:00.341
I wouldn't have stopped because…

01:06:05.723 --> 01:06:08.370
I felt that Joaco was...

01:06:09.465 --> 01:06:11.658
trapped in a body,

01:06:12.217 --> 01:06:14.332
he had lost his freedom,

01:06:14.333 --> 01:06:16.449
like he didn't decide what to do.

01:06:17.268 --> 01:06:20.725
I thought: it is Joaquín's
freedom or mine

01:06:21.269 --> 01:06:23.317
Definetely Joaquin's freedom.

01:06:25.783 --> 01:06:27.945
Through this precautionary measure

01:06:28.089 --> 01:06:30.149
that they gave us,

01:06:30.149 --> 01:06:32.997
we are, let's say, legally

01:06:33.096 --> 01:06:35.921
authorized to have our plants.

01:06:35.921 --> 01:06:39.335
We have the requested
amount of plants

01:06:39.335 --> 01:06:41.408
to guarantee Joaquin´s medicine

01:06:41.408 --> 01:06:43.724
throughout the year.

01:06:44.180 --> 01:06:47.666
The Ministry of Health
appealed the protection

01:06:47.666 --> 01:06:50.752
claiming that the law
has already been discussed

01:06:50.851 --> 01:06:55.595
and it only protects
refractory epilepsy.

01:06:56.234 --> 01:07:00.068
If the judge gives rise
to the appeal

01:07:00.167 --> 01:07:03.536
we will have no doubt
in reaching the Court.

01:07:04.197 --> 01:07:07.814
If the Court tells us no, well...

01:07:07.815 --> 01:07:09.958
I will continue to do so.

01:07:09.958 --> 01:07:12.096
Don't shoot the messenger!

01:08:34.987 --> 01:08:36.922
Let's go?

01:08:43.117 --> 01:08:46.705
Come here.

01:08:49.765 --> 01:08:51.765
The little brother is playing.

01:08:54.298 --> 01:08:56.105
Let's see.

01:08:57.810 --> 01:08:59.835
Come here.

01:09:12.635 --> 01:09:14.928
Can you pass me a napkin, Fer?

01:09:20.389 --> 01:09:21.920
Thank you.

01:09:24.503 --> 01:09:26.067
Did this stop working?

01:09:26.067 --> 01:09:28.453
No, I turned it off.

01:09:33.801 --> 01:09:36.250
Since the law came out until now,

01:09:36.250 --> 01:09:38.816
all is more complicated for

01:09:38.915 --> 01:09:41.621
ordinary people like us,
for parents.

01:09:41.621 --> 01:09:43.829
It is complicated to carry out

01:09:43.829 --> 01:09:45.900
the procedure to import,

01:09:45.999 --> 01:09:48.491
the only thing that
is allowed to import

01:09:48.492 --> 01:09:51.066
is one variety of oil
for refractory epilepsy,

01:09:51.066 --> 01:09:53.594
and only oil, not other way.

01:09:53.594 --> 01:09:56.404
It can´t be imported to vaporize,

01:09:56.503 --> 01:09:58.558
creams cannot be imported.

01:09:58.558 --> 01:10:00.803
It limited everything a lot.

01:10:00.902 --> 01:10:03.451
Us, parents, say:

01:10:03.451 --> 01:10:05.817
the law was good;

01:10:05.817 --> 01:10:09.373
what was very bad,
really bad, is the regulation.

01:10:09.504 --> 01:10:12.014
There is no free oil for anyone

01:10:12.113 --> 01:10:15.566
because the State doesn´t
provide oil for the people.

01:10:17.443 --> 01:10:19.778
Everything is very, very complex.

01:10:19.778 --> 01:10:22.346
They don´t understand
that on the other side

01:10:22.346 --> 01:10:24.552
there is a convulsive baby,

01:10:24.552 --> 01:10:26.661
a mother suffering because

01:10:26.661 --> 01:10:28.809
we are families that fight for

01:10:28.908 --> 01:10:32.170
a quality of life for the children,
their relatives.

01:10:32.269 --> 01:10:34.176
I say about my daughter because,

01:10:34.176 --> 01:10:36.383
well, Josefina has epilepsy,

01:10:36.383 --> 01:10:38.591
but there are cases of autism.

01:10:38.591 --> 01:10:40.688
I don't know if a doctor ever

01:10:40.689 --> 01:10:43.360
came into the life of that family.

01:10:43.459 --> 01:10:45.661
Authorities must understand

01:10:45.661 --> 01:10:47.806
because we won´t stop.

01:10:47.905 --> 01:10:50.804
They must accompany us,
to support us,

01:10:50.804 --> 01:10:54.119
it must be safe, it must be
obtained in a dispensary.

01:10:54.119 --> 01:10:56.204
To be able to grow,

01:10:56.204 --> 01:10:58.757
because maybe the
variety that you get

01:10:58.856 --> 01:11:01.730
in a pharmacy is not
what your child needs.

01:11:04.816 --> 01:11:06.816
You're making a mess.

01:11:11.516 --> 01:11:13.954
Shall we take her downstairs, Lau,
before pizza?

01:11:14.121 --> 01:11:16.831
If not, pizza will be
like stone later.

01:11:18.745 --> 01:11:21.168
Do you want to go for a walk?
Look!

01:11:22.690 --> 01:11:24.738
She goes to her room!

01:11:43.754 --> 01:11:45.883
Look, we're going outside,

01:11:45.883 --> 01:11:48.383
but first the jacket.

01:11:50.884 --> 01:11:52.777
You are terrible!

01:11:56.062 --> 01:11:57.938
Give me your arm here...

01:12:10.907 --> 01:12:12.302
Careful!

01:12:17.768 --> 01:12:20.495
You are a pumpkin, huh.

01:12:33.514 --> 01:12:35.415
Look, there is the cat.

01:12:35.415 --> 01:12:37.384
Stop there is mud there, Jose.

01:12:37.384 --> 01:12:39.218
There, for the other side.

01:12:39.218 --> 01:12:40.768
Come on, Jose

01:12:41.102 --> 01:12:43.707
No, there are aromatic plants...

01:12:47.622 --> 01:12:50.269
Very good, Jose, what a genius.

01:12:50.889 --> 01:12:52.714
How she is walking!

01:12:57.098 --> 01:12:59.945
There is water,
you're going to fall...

01:13:04.945 --> 01:13:06.951
Alone, alone.

01:13:16.129 --> 01:13:19.084
Look who's coming there.
Dad… where is dad?

01:13:20.770 --> 01:13:22.707
Will you take my hand?

01:13:35.252 --> 01:13:40.708
Dad… dad… where is dad?

01:13:41.918 --> 01:13:44.090
Those crazy hairs.

01:13:45.050 --> 01:13:48.320
She wants to continue,
but then she has to come back.

01:14:00.024 --> 01:14:01.822
Look how she goes...

01:14:09.175 --> 01:14:12.331
Do you want to go down?
She looks at the floor.

01:14:13.989 --> 01:14:16.284
Shall we walk the last stretch?

01:14:16.285 --> 01:14:20.296
Take Mom´s hand on one side
and me on the other.

01:14:20.703 --> 01:14:25.227
Give me your hand.
Come on, pumpkin. Well!

01:14:33.909 --> 01:14:36.937
You're going downhill, Jose,
you're going to roll.

01:14:41.549 --> 01:14:45.037
Shall we go, pumpkin?
Shall we?

01:14:46.704 --> 01:14:50.377
You walked a lot! Bravo!

01:15:05.437 --> 01:15:07.862
We import, we continue to import,

01:15:07.862 --> 01:15:10.199
the same oil that we imported when

01:15:10.199 --> 01:15:12.260
we started the treatment.

01:15:12.359 --> 01:15:15.649
We are giving it to Josefina
in 2 daily doses.

01:15:15.649 --> 01:15:19.332
We have had ups and
downs in between,

01:15:19.332 --> 01:15:21.631
so we also started to contact other

01:15:21.631 --> 01:15:23.762
mothers to see how they did.

01:15:23.861 --> 01:15:26.182
We tried to give her homemade oils,

01:15:26.182 --> 01:15:28.473
produced in another way,

01:15:28.572 --> 01:15:30.957
trying to get the THCa,

01:15:30.957 --> 01:15:33.121
which was produced by a mother.

01:15:33.121 --> 01:15:35.848
There is a mother who is

01:15:35.849 --> 01:15:38.539
growing a variety of cannabis,

01:15:38.638 --> 01:15:40.719
for her son, and she tells me:

01:15:40.719 --> 01:15:43.088
Laura, look, I did a lot

01:15:43.088 --> 01:15:45.322
because the truth was she risked

01:15:45.322 --> 01:15:47.785
by having many plants to be able

01:15:47.884 --> 01:15:49.838
to harvest and have a support in

01:15:49.838 --> 01:15:53.379
her son´s treatment, who has
cerebral palsy, West Syndrome,

01:15:55.479 --> 01:15:57.153
I said yes.

01:15:57.835 --> 01:16:00.176
Do you want me to
send you a bottle?

01:16:00.176 --> 01:16:02.476
Yes, we will try it with Jose

01:16:04.049 --> 01:16:07.930
If that works I´ll start growing.

01:16:08.029 --> 01:16:10.011
There is always the idea of

01:16:10.011 --> 01:16:12.044
making a protection appeal,

01:16:12.044 --> 01:16:14.274
as we got the first one that

01:16:14.274 --> 01:16:17.018
required our social security to
cover the cannabis oil

01:16:17.018 --> 01:16:19.064
even before the law,
before everything.

01:16:19.064 --> 01:16:22.012
Jose had the public social security

01:16:22.110 --> 01:16:24.861
covering her treatment
with cannabis.

01:16:35.716 --> 01:16:38.730
Look, this is the oil that

01:16:38.829 --> 01:16:41.451
I told you yesterday,

01:16:41.451 --> 01:16:44.482
from Silvia, the mother who
prepared it for Josefina.

01:16:44.482 --> 01:16:46.718
So, let's see what it is like.

01:16:46.850 --> 01:16:49.600
With a lot of hope, obviously.

01:16:50.637 --> 01:16:53.234
It's kind of difficult, but ok.

01:16:54.070 --> 01:16:56.569
She prepared it for her little boy,

01:16:56.649 --> 01:16:58.792
he is already taking it,

01:16:58.792 --> 01:17:02.212
and she offered me for Josefina.

01:17:02.212 --> 01:17:04.338
If it works,

01:17:04.338 --> 01:17:07.004
if it is good for her

01:17:07.103 --> 01:17:09.171
we are going to start growing

01:17:09.171 --> 01:17:11.932
this same strain ourselves.

01:17:17.382 --> 01:17:19.840
She sent it in the bottle of same

01:17:19.939 --> 01:17:22.450
oil that Jose takes, right?

01:17:22.451 --> 01:17:25.936
But, hey, homemade oil, so good.

01:17:26.456 --> 01:17:29.025
Hopefully it works on Jose.

01:17:29.025 --> 01:17:31.421
In Bastian it is already working,

01:17:31.520 --> 01:17:34.253
so, well, let's see.
I have faith...

01:17:35.370 --> 01:17:37.770
So transparent...

01:17:40.953 --> 01:17:44.463
smells good, smells good.

01:17:45.255 --> 01:17:47.332
Well, let´s try it on Jose...

01:17:48.525 --> 01:17:50.888
Chilean mothers told me once

01:17:50.986 --> 01:17:53.354
that they cultivate 3 different

01:17:53.354 --> 01:17:55.381
varieties and rotate the strains.

01:17:55.381 --> 01:17:57.616
So, start testing with that too.

01:17:57.616 --> 01:18:00.042
Do not abandon this imported oil,

01:18:00.042 --> 01:18:02.297
which is the one we already have,

01:18:02.297 --> 01:18:04.366
covered by the social security

01:18:04.465 --> 01:18:06.644
to support Jose´s treatment

01:18:06.743 --> 01:18:08.849
and combine it with another

01:18:08.849 --> 01:18:12.636
to achieve an even more
stable improvement, right?

01:18:12.636 --> 01:18:15.084
So, well, let's see.

01:19:32.162 --> 01:19:34.281
How nice to be outside, right?

01:19:35.666 --> 01:19:38.370
How cute, Jose.

01:19:52.035 --> 01:19:54.201
Cute.

01:19:59.302 --> 01:20:01.646
That cheeky face.

01:20:02.115 --> 01:20:03.843
That cheeky face.

01:20:03.928 --> 01:20:06.178
1, 2, 3!

01:20:07.469 --> 01:20:09.969
Bravo, bravo!

01:20:12.902 --> 01:20:15.033
Let´s go, let´s go...

01:20:16.178 --> 01:20:18.341
Let´s change the diaper...

01:20:20.336 --> 01:20:23.635
I get sick because it is a plant

01:20:23.635 --> 01:20:26.178
that gives life to my daughter.

01:20:26.718 --> 01:20:29.446
Politicians can´t understand that.

01:20:29.446 --> 01:20:31.600
They don´t live what we live,

01:20:31.699 --> 01:20:33.701
with the illnesses of our children.

01:20:33.870 --> 01:20:36.028
So we need that.

01:20:36.028 --> 01:20:38.324
We are not asking for anything
from the other world.

01:20:38.324 --> 01:20:40.777
We are asking to grow the
plant here in the country,

01:20:40.777 --> 01:20:43.728
to investigate,
to manufacture the oil

01:20:43.728 --> 01:20:46.078
to have the varieties of cannabis...

01:20:47.227 --> 01:20:49.238
We ask nothing more than that:

01:20:49.238 --> 01:20:52.530
to accompany us with the
responsibility we gave them

01:20:52.530 --> 01:20:54.456
because we voted for politicians

01:20:54.456 --> 01:20:57.737
to accompany us,
to make public policies

01:20:57.738 --> 01:21:00.238
to support our children.

01:21:00.361 --> 01:21:03.512
We are their voice because
they cannot speak.

01:21:03.611 --> 01:21:06.000
My daughter cannot speak,
express herself,

01:21:06.000 --> 01:21:08.080
cannot say what she feels.

01:21:08.080 --> 01:21:10.100
She talks to me with her eyes.

01:21:10.100 --> 01:21:12.359
What she says since
she is taking cannabis

01:21:12.359 --> 01:21:14.599
what she tells me with her eyes

01:21:14.599 --> 01:21:18.196
is that she has peace
and that she is happy

01:21:18.295 --> 01:21:21.478
that she leads a day to
day with quality of life.

01:21:21.577 --> 01:21:24.277
That's a lot, and we
families make that possible.

01:21:40.372 --> 01:21:42.676
Are we going to the ramp?

01:21:42.925 --> 01:21:47.332
Let's go. Come on,
let's go to the ramp.

01:21:48.286 --> 01:21:50.687
Very well. Very well.

01:21:53.174 --> 01:21:55.611
Upstairs, Jose.

01:21:56.484 --> 01:21:58.176
Mara!

01:21:58.176 --> 01:22:00.540
There is!

01:22:02.463 --> 01:22:07.206
Very good, Jose. Bravo.

01:22:07.206 --> 01:22:09.697
Ready? Let's go up.

01:22:11.844 --> 01:22:14.457
Come on, Mara.

01:22:14.555 --> 01:22:17.680
There is. Come on, Mara.

01:22:17.893 --> 01:22:22.668
-Bye, Jose!
-Bye, daddy! Bye, mom!

01:23:20.616 --> 01:23:22.616
Mara is cute, huh.

01:23:54.235 --> 01:23:57.280
In November 2020,
a new regulation of Law 27,350

01:23:57.280 --> 01:23:59.280
for Medical and Scientific Research

01:23:59.280 --> 01:24:02.780
on the medicinal use of the
cannabis plant and its derivatives

01:24:02.780 --> 01:24:04.780
was decreed in the
Argentine Republic,

01:24:04.780 --> 01:24:07.780
repealing the previous one
that was restrictive

01:24:07.780 --> 01:24:10.567
and insufficient for
the needs of the population.

01:24:10.917 --> 01:24:12.917
The new regulation guarantees

01:24:12.917 --> 01:24:14.917
access to cannabis-based products

01:24:14.917 --> 01:24:16.917
made in the country or imported.

01:24:16.917 --> 01:24:18.917
In addition, it authorizes

01:24:18.917 --> 01:24:21.417
personal, solidarity and
collective cultivation.

01:24:21.937 --> 01:24:24.937
Health cannot wait.
