Chile accepts a prescription as grounds for growing cannabis

Law 21.575 amended Article 8 of Law 20.000: growing cannabis is treated as justified when it serves a medical treatment and the grower presents a prescription from the treating doctor stating the diagnosis, the treatment and its length, and a way of taking it other than smoking. Forging such a prescription became a crime.[1]
