Abstract:

The debate over marijuana regulation has gained strength in recent years due to its therapeutic potential. Despite this there is still a lot of prejudice regarding marijuana medical use. In the mid-1990s, Lafepe brought the proposal for production of a medicine based on Cannabis sativa. This proposal was a pioneer at a time when the discussion about drugs was still surrounded by intense prohibitions and prejudices. This work aims to rescue, through an interview with Professor Antônio José Alves, the President of Lafepe of the time, all the paths and obstacles covered in the avant-garde attempt to create the first medicine made with marijuana in Brazil.
