CANNABIS SATIVA L. IN THE UNIFIED HEALTH SYSTEM
Abstract
The use of medicinal plants is as old as the history of humanity, however, with the advancement of technology there was an inertia in the use of plants, that the popular movement caused a real uproar in the race for the increasing use of medicinal plants. In this way, the development of integrative and complementary practices gradually began. Although integrative practices are implemented in the Unified Health System (SUS), it is still not a reality throughout the country, many resistances, lack of information and incentives, make it not a practice offered to the entire Brazilian population. Primary Health Care must be exercised with managerial practices, democratic assistance with popular participation, with this thought the Family Health Program emerged in 1994 and in 2006, it became the Family Health Strategy. In 2010, the Ministry of Health published ordinance 886 that established the Living Pharmacy, which, like its creator, Prof. Francisco José de Abreu Matos, would be an impulse for the Health Secretariats of Brazilian municipalities, however, it is verified that it has not yet become a reality. Currently, the demand for the use of Cannabis sativa, the Unified Health System seeks, in a way, a way to meet the needs of Cannabis prescribers. In RDC 18 of 2013, which provides for Good Handling Practices for Medicinal Plants and in PL 399/2015, which provides for the safety and storage of Cannabis sativa, several mechanisms have emerged for the insertion of the species in Living Pharmacies. Many advances have been observed in this fight, however, the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply must be involved to discuss the insertion of Cannabis sativa in family farming.
