Summer break at MEDCAN – it continues in September
Patient meetings in summer
Our personal on-site meetings will not take place in July and August, but we are still there for you. The patient meetings are held online once a month. All data can be found on our website. And stay up to date via our Telegram channel and our social media channels.
Patience is still required
The demand and supply of cannabis for medical use will continue to evolve in the coming weeks and months. It still requires patience and we recommend that you follow market developments closely. on our Telegram channel in order to enable a collaborative exchange and support each other. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us there. The cannabis community is happy to try to help you.
Press release on the anniversary of the change in the law
August 1st marks the anniversary of the change in the law that enabled the association -based medical use of cannabis. To mark this occasion, we will send out a press release to point out existing challenges. Unfortunately, you still need a lot of initiative if you want a prescription and doctors have little experience in prescribing. In addition, one of our tasks now is to educate the public about the therapeutic options of cannabis, as many people in Switzerland do not yet know this.
Strategy and lobbying
During our summer break, we will continue to work on our strategies to improve access to the medical use of cannabis for patients. At the moment the supply is working poorly. We also keep the MEDCAN website up to date and stay in touch with important people in order to have an influence. We will also make contact with specialist organizations and ask for support. At the same time, we are preparing for our 10th anniversary year, which will take place in 2024. Our work doesn’t pause – we remain active in our mission.
