Chile es ahora el primer pa\u00eds de Latinoam\u00e9rica en cultivar marihuana con fines estrictamente medicinales, en lo que podr\u00eda ser el primer paso hacia la liberalizaci\u00f3n de las leyes de drogas del pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El 29 de octubre, la comuna de La Florida en la ciudad capital de Santiago plant\u00f3 850 semillas de marihuana para cultivar la planta con fines m\u00e9dicos, inform\u00f3 Associated Press<\/a>. El proyecto piloto, que est\u00e1 patrocinado por la alcald\u00eda de la localidad, una universidad, y la organizaci\u00f3n sin fines de lucro Fundaci\u00f3n Daya, planea producir aceite de cannabis para 200 pacientes de c\u00e1ncer a partir de mayo de 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Con el fin de iniciar el proyecto piloto, la Fundaci\u00f3n Daya y la alcald\u00eda de La Florida tuvieron que obtener un permiso especial para importar las semillas y cultivar la planta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hannah Hetzer, gerente en pol\u00edticas de las Am\u00e9ricas de la Drug Policy Alliance dijo a InSight Crime en un correo electr\u00f3nico que el proyecto representa \u201cel primer programa exclusivo de marihuana medicinal en Latinoam\u00e9rica\u201d, ya que el sistema de marihuana medicinal de Uruguay a\u00fan no ha sido implementado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Las autoridades chilenas dijeron a la BBC <\/a>que el pa\u00eds tambi\u00e9n es el primero en Latinoam\u00e9rica en permitir la importaci\u00f3n de medicamentos que contienen cannabis, despu\u00e9s de que una paciente de c\u00e1ncer de mama obtuviera un permiso para importar su medicamento a base de cannabis desde Europa en agosto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Al igual que otros pa\u00edses de la regi\u00f3n, Chile ha comenzado a mirar a la pol\u00edtica de drogas desde una perspectiva de salud p\u00fablica, y el proyecto piloto podr\u00eda representar el primer paso hacia una legislaci\u00f3n m\u00e1s liberal. Seg\u00fan el Transnational Institute<\/a>, la ley actual de Chile permite el consumo personal de cualquier droga recreativa, pero no especifica las cantidades exactas permitidas. Cualquiera que cultive o venda marihuana puede ser castigado con hasta 15 a\u00f1os de prisi\u00f3n, seg\u00fan Associated Press.<\/p>\n\n\n\n En otras partes de Latinoam\u00e9rica, Colombia, M\u00e9xico y Costa Rica se est\u00e1n debatiendo actualmente proyectos de ley de marihuana medicinal, seg\u00fan Hetzer. Varios pa\u00edses, entre ellos Colombia, Ecuador, Costa Rica y Argentina tambi\u00e9n han despenalizado la posesi\u00f3n<\/a> de peque\u00f1as cantidades de marihuana para consumo personal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n VEA TAMBI\u00c9N:<\/strong> <\/span>Uruguay, crimen organizado y la pol\u00edtica de drogas<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Uruguay ha ido a\u00fan m\u00e1s lejos, aprobando una ley para legalizar la producci\u00f3n, el consumo y la venta de marihuana con fines recreativos y uso medicinal. Aunque una encuesta de julio mostr\u00f3 que m\u00e1s del 60 por ciento de los encuestados<\/a> estaban en contra de la ley, la coalici\u00f3n Frente Amplio -a la que pertenece el actual presidente Jos\u00e9 Mujica- gan\u00f3 15 de los 31 esca\u00f1os <\/a>en el Congreso en las elecciones del 26 de octubre.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Chile es ahora el primer pa\u00eds de
