The Empowered Patient: Taking Care into Our Own Hands
More and more people with chronic illnesses are interested in the supportive effects of the cannabis plant – whether for alleviating symptoms such as pain, spasticity, or sleep problems, or for generally stabilizing their well-being. Our aim is to empower those affected to take responsibility for their own health and to contribute to destigmatizing the topic.
Our workshop is not about therapy recommendations or medical alternatives, but about education, sharing experiences, and mutual support. Exchanging ideas with others in similar life situations not only provides valuable knowledge but often also has a relieving and strengthening effect – for both body and soul.
What you can expect:
- Step-by-step instructions for legally growing CBD strains on your balcony or in your garden
- Important legal information & tips for choosing seeds
- Exchange with other cannabis patients – networking, mutual support and empowerment
- Personal conversations, relaxed breaks with drinks & snacks
- Helpful gifts from our sponsors – for home gardening!

A workshop with a future
The workshop is taking place at an exciting time: Heinz Siegenthaler's initiative to legalize cannabis is now entering the consultation phase – meaning that regulation is once again being discussed more intensely in the political arena. For us as patients, this offers hope: not because we romanticize home cultivation, but because no one should be forced to resort to the black market when the healthcare system fails. We support the medical use of cannabis through prescriptions and pharmacies. However, as long as access is not guaranteed, we demand: legal home cultivation must be possible.
Join us and learn everything you need to know about growing your own food.
The workshop is free, but places are limited to 50 people.
