Podcannabis: o uso medicinal da cannabis no Brasil

Abstract

The medicinal use of Cannabis has been reported since ancient times, as well as its effectiveness in the production of fibers, ropes and fabrics. As it spread around the world, its psychotropic effects also attracted interest, whether in religious rituals or recreational consumption, a reality that ended up negatively impacting its therapeutical use. The present work, which resulted in a podcast series on the subject, intends to present, discuss and clarify how the process of dissemination of Cannabis in the world happened, its use throughout history and the challenges specialists and patients face for the legalization of its medicinal use.
