Legislation to legalize medical marijuana in Mexico has gotten tied up in that country’s Congress. Senators shelved the measure for further review after multiple amendments were tacked on to the original bill. Its future is anything but certain.

In the meantime, some patients in Mexico are getting treatment with hemp-based products, imported under special permits. As CCTV America’s Franc Contreras reports, epilepsy patients are among the first in line.
