Los significados de los cuidados en una red de cannabis medicinal para su uso en personas que viven con epilepsia refractaria en San Carlos de Bariloche, Río Negro.

Abstract

The overall objective of this work is to describe and analyze sociocultural practices surrounding the medicinal use of cannabis among people living with refractory epilepsy (RE) in Bariloche, Río Negro. It also aims to provide an ethnographic anthropological approach to a phenomenon that has gained visibility in Argentina, particularly in the context of the city of Bariloche. Through an ethnographic approach, I sought to recover diverse perspectives on the use of medicinal cannabis. In this sense, the study does not dwell on the implications and obstacles arising from the illegality of cannabis, but also highlights the community logics of care in the production of its cultivation and the specific therapeutic forms of the oil.
