SUMMARY:

“The reemergence of cannabis as a medicine is no longer news in the academic world or among the general population; the number of related scientific articles is growing, and its prescription has become more frequent. This revival contrasts with the prohibitionist reality surrounding marijuana, whose prohibition keeps popular and traditional use on the margins, especially by people from the periphery, blacks and indigenous people. Our research aims to analyze, based on Intervention Bioethics and other southern epistemes, the use of marijuana for therapeutic purposes. Through an epistemic perspective of complex thought, decoloniality, inter-epistemic and sentipensante, we discuss the moral, social, racial, health and economic crossings associated with the use of plant in question. This is a qualitative ethnopharmacological research for bioethical analysis that used the methodological tool of participant observation of Projeto de Extensão Ambulatório Cannábico of Universidade Federal de Pernambuco. We observed that the use of cannabis has varied in terms of the clinical indication, the characteristics of the products, the forms of access and the social, economic and cultural aspects of the users. The clinical risks of using the plant medicinally do not seem to justify keeping it banned. On the other hand, regulating only prescribed use has an unjust effect on a portion of the population that benefits from its popular use and on the black population, given the harmful effects of prohibitionism on this group. Bioethics that is critical of the concentration of power and involved in social emancipation cannot shy away from revealing the pacts of whiteness and the capitalist aspects that are essential for maintaining the privileges of a few and the global unprotection of a majority. With a non-speciesist approach, we also consider cannabis to have the right to life integrated with its original function, understanding its persecution as a violation of the right to its existence. Finally, we believe that broader legalization could have more integrative effects for humanity, the plant and the ecosystem.
