To what lengths would you go to give your child a better quality of life? Would you take on your country\u2019s government in the court of law to protect their health and wellbeing?<\/span><\/p>\n That is what one father, Norberto Fischer, and his family did for one of their daughters, forever changing the Brazil\u2019s approach to CBD in the process.<\/span><\/p>\n Now Norberto is a vocal advocate for CBD access in his own country and throughout Latin America. He recently partnered with HempMeds\u00ae Brasil to become their spokesperson. He also provides a regular column to the HempMeds\u00ae Brasil blog. <\/span><\/p>\n Learn more about Norberto\u2019s incredible story below. <\/span><\/p>\n The spark for <\/span>legalization of cannabinoid-based products in Brazil<\/span><\/a> can be traced to one family doing what it took to ensure their daughter received the CBD the family believed would make a difference in her life. <\/span><\/p>\n The Fischer family includes Anny, a little girl with special needs. Four years ago, the family began looking for a natural alternative to harsher chemical options provided by Anny\u2019s specialists. That is when they discovered <\/span>Real Scientific Hemp Oil\u2122<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n Norberto and his wife Katiele first learned of RSHO\u2122 CBD oil products from the <\/span>Hope4Harper<\/span><\/a> Facebook page, which was run by a mother 5,000 miles away in Texas. With the help of a friend in the U.S., the family took a chance and began importing RSHO\u2122 products to give to their daughter. <\/span><\/p>\n When one of Anny\u2019s shipment\u2019s was stopped by customs in the country, the family quickly took action, taking their case to Brazil\u2019s courts. In just three days, it was declared by the courts inhumane to restrict Anny\u2019s access to CBD products. <\/span><\/p>\n This would ignite a nationwide grassroots effort for the legalization of CBD products in Brazil for qualifying patients. With the help of HempMeds\u00ae Brasil, families in Brazil organized, demanding RSHO\u2122 for their own children.<\/span><\/p>\n The story of the Fischer\u2019s struggle and the medical cannabis legalization movement that followed were captured on film in the documentary <\/span>Illegal<\/span><\/i>. You can watch the trailer <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n HempMeds\u00ae Brasil now works with thousands of families in need to help them legally get access to RSHO\u2122. The company is also working hard to educate the medical community and regulatory agencies to make the process for obtaining cannabis products like RSHO\u2122 easier. <\/span><\/p>\n All this effort has paid off, as HempMeds\u00ae Brazil is enjoying a fantastic start to 2018. The company hosted a number of educations events <\/span>around Brazil<\/span><\/a>, including <\/span>Rio de Janeiro<\/span><\/a>, to reach out to doctors and inform them on the benefits of CBD products for their patients. The company also invited renown doctors from the country to <\/span>visit their home offices<\/span><\/a> in San Diego and learn more about CBD and its use in Brazil. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Norberto has recently signed a partnership with HempMeds\u00ae Brasil to make him the spokesperson for the company in Brazil and around the world. He will promote the company\u2019s top quality CBD oil products and share his family\u2019s experience fighting for and using CBD oil products for Anny.<\/span><\/p>\n Norberto will also appear as a guest columnist on the HempMeds\u00ae Brasil blog, sharing his unique expertise and personal experiences with the blog\u2019s readers, including doctors, patients, and their families around Brazil.<\/span><\/p>\n Norberto will be traveling to the U.S. this week and will visit the Medical Marijuana, Inc. home offices. <\/span><\/p>\n While here, Norberto will meet with Medical Marijuana, Inc. executives to plan how he will help raise awareness for HempMeds\u00ae Brasil and the top quality RSHO\u2122 products the company distributes to patients in the country. <\/span><\/p>\n Norberto will also meet with another well-known CBD advocate, Raul Elizalde, during his visit. Similarly to Norberto, Raul fought the government in his home country of Mexico for the right to import CBD oil products from Medical Marijuana, Inc. Raul is now <\/span>HempMeds\u00ae\u2019 President, Latin America<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n Just last year, Raul traveled to Geneva to <\/span>speak before World Health Organization (WHO) officials<\/span><\/a> during a special committee meeting to decide whether CBD should be regulated as a drug. Thanks to information provided by Raul and others with experience with CBD, WHO officials decided that <\/span>CBD did not require regulation<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n Having these two paragons of CBD legalization in Latin America together on the Medical Marijuana, Inc. team will help ensure we move forward on our mission of access to CBD for everyone, worldwide. <\/span><\/p>\nFighting for CBD Access in Brazil<\/span><\/h2>\n
