[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Medical Marijuana, Inc. portfolio company HempMeds\u00ae Brasil was featured this week in an article about CBD oil\u2019s growing use among patients on the nation\u2019s popular <\/span>Catraquinha website<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

According to the Catraquinha website, the page, \u201cgathers information on everything that matters to parents, educators and family members – from cultural agenda to transformative projects for children – with the aim of empowering them to positively interfere with children’s development.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In the piece, the author explored CBD oil\u2019s path to acceptance as a therapeutic option for patients with a range of medical conditions, such as epilepsy, Alzheimer\u2019s disease, autism spectrum disorder, and chronic pain. <\/span><\/p>\n

The story of CBD in Brazil begins with the mothers and fathers across the country who pushed the bounds of the country\u2019s laws to import the CBD oil their children desperately needed. Thanks to these early fighters, families and patients can now import CBD oil with a doctor\u2019s prescription and authorization from Anvisa.<\/span><\/p>\n

Caroline Heinz, Director of Operations for <\/span>HempMeds\u00ae Brasil<\/span><\/a>, revealed to the media source the events that led to the country permitting the purchase, import, and use of CBD oil products.<\/span><\/p>\n

Previously, CBD oil, like all cannabis products, was banned in Brazil. Then, the first legal purchase of CBD in Brazil happened because a 2014 court decision. This was the case of Anny Fischer, whose story is portrayed in the documentary <\/span>Illegal<\/span><\/i> (available on Netflix). <\/span><\/p>\n

This breakthrough came after months of effort by families in Brazil for the right to access CBD for their children. Since then, Anvisa has been accepting import applications for CBD oil from patients across Brazil, formally withdrawing CBD from the list of banned substances in Brazil in January of 2015.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThese achievements have added to several studies worldwide that have confirmed the efficacy of cannabidiol in the treatment of epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, and other health conditions, and the discussion on the medicinal use of [CBD oil] has become popular, ” Heinz told the website.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rubens Wejnsztejn, President of the Brazilian Society of Neurology, is a neurologist and prescribes cannabidiol for patients with various disorders. In the piece, he cites a study carried out at Escola Paulista de Medicina. <\/span><\/p>\n

“Cannabidiol has a broad therapeutic potential in the central nervous system, demonstrating great importance in the treatment of various neurological disorders. In humans, these effects correspond to analgesia, mood alteration, appetite stimulation in individuals treated with chemotherapy (patients with HIV and cancer), changes in psychomotor activities, perception, cognition, memory, as well as in the control of spasticity in patients with multiple sclerosis, beneficial effects on glaucoma, and anticonvulsive properties, among others,” explains Rubens.<\/span><\/p>\n

Results like this drive more and more doctors in Brazil to consider medical cannabis in the form of CBD oil for their patients. <\/span><\/p>\n
