Resumen:
The present work aims to give lecture on the likelihood of using broadly the Cannabis Sativa (marijuana) for therapeutic purposes in Brazil. Are presented concepts, definitions of medical handling and secular, evaluate changes on the national scene with the reclassification of cannabidiol (CBD) and how that decision could contribute to an increased release of the herb. Marijuana is one of the oldest drugs used by humanity, and even reports that the Chinese about 2000 years already knew their therapeutic potential in Brazil only became aware of this fact in the Decade of 1930, through reports of doctors and French writers. The plant has been banned for use in the country, but because of its health benefits, began to use it clandestinely. Until Kerry Fischer, mother of little Anny Fischer, went in search of the judiciary to ensure the daughter his right to life and to health with the use of the CBD, substance of Cannabis, from then on, hundreds of other cases began to emerge, which drew attention of the medical profession, legal and national media. The struggle of these families made the national health surveillance Agency amend the Ordinance n° 344/98 and reclassificasse the cannabidiol, which was part of the proscribed substances and is now controlled use. However, despite the relevant decision, the fight cannot cease because the use is still restricted and bureaucratic, besides, there are other components present in the herb that are good for your health. Therefore, the Brazilian Government should allow the widespread use of marijuana for medical use, on the feasibility of legislation and encourage scientific research with the plant. The method adopted is the deductive, already in relation to the character it is a qualitative research, as it is not measured in numbers, as regards technical procedures is a bibliographical research, research technique is the indirect documentation, because data collection is based on existing documents, such as the investigation of laws and doctrinal positions, and finally the method of procedure is the historic, where it was verified the drug marijuana use over the centuries.
