在启动国家大麻和大麻机构 ARICCAME 的会议上，经济部长塞尔吉奥马萨说，
 
"This opens the door for Argentina to start a new path in terms of industrial exports, on the basis of huge global demand."
“这为阿根廷打开了大门，在巨大的全球需求的基础上，在工业出口方面开辟一条新道路。”
 
He added, "All this needs to be transformed into an industry which generates work, which generates exports for Argentina and which generates value."
他补充说，“所有这些都需要转变为一个可以创造工作、为阿根廷出口并创造价值的行业。”

马萨说，该机构将开始与地方政府和行业合作。他说，阿根廷依赖于与农业和工业部门相关项目的需求。

将领导该机构的 Francisco Echarren 表示，该行业可以创造数以千计的新就业机会、技术发展和用于出口的新产品。
 
"We have a huge challenge ahead of us," he said, "not only getting a new industry on its feet, but giving millions of Argentines access to products that improve quality of life."
“我们面临着巨大的挑战，”他说，“不仅要让一个新行业站稳脚跟，还要让数百万阿根廷人获得改善生活质量的产品。”
