COLBUN, Chile -- There are green, leafy marijuana plants as far as the eye can see.

This pot farm is all legal and Chile's government approved it.

This is the largest field of marijuana designed for medical use in Latin America.

The 6,900 plants are growing at the pot farm in the town of Colbun, which is about 170 miles south of Santiago.

It's expected to produce a ton of cannabis in a country where production and distribution of marijuana is still illegal.
