00:00 ... So ang aming inapropriatan ay exclusive lamang po ito for medical use, medical cannabis. Wala hung permission sa batas na ito na ina-allow yung recreational use.
00:20 "As far as this proposed law is concerned, possession, cultivation, importation and pushing and selling is still in violation of the existing law, Republic Act 9165. Medical cannabis in pharmaceutical form ang ina-allow po natin dito.
00:44 "This will treat debilitating diseases as identified by the physicians. There's a proposal also to include yung non-debilitating.
00:58 "Ang example na binigay nila ay yung anxiety or severe insomnia which also is considered a non-debilitating illness which can be cured by medical cannabis.
01:17 "Yung tama po yung batas na inaprobahan natin kanina, it is not delisting marijuana or medical cannabis, sorry, marijuana duod sa integration sa Republic Act 9165 na prohibited dangerous drugs considered pa rin yung marijuana."
