An event by patients for patients
Saturday, October 11, 2025
Hotel Bern, Bern
Time: 2:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Topic: Cannabis for chronic pain
"We, The Patients" is a movement driven by patients themselves. Its goal is to share knowledge, make experiences heard, and raise awareness of the medical use of cannabis.
An exciting program awaits visitors in Bern as well:
- Dr. David Marx – My experience with cannabinoids in pain therapy
- Bea Goldman MSc – A nurse’s experience with cannabinoids in pain therapy
- Franziska Quadri – Personal experiences with chronic pain due to spinal cord injury
As in Zurich, the focus will be on personal exchanges alongside in-depth presentations. Patients will openly share their experiences, and medical professionals will share their knowledge – in an atmosphere of trust, respect, and solidarity.
Positive response from Zurich
The first event, held on March 1, 2025, in Zurich, was a complete success: Around 60 participants attended, and feedback was very positive. The safe environment, the openness, and the opportunity to ask questions directly were particularly appreciated.
This response motivates us to continue the format – and we are particularly pleased to be able to inform and network with 100 participants in Bern this time.
An additional doctor on site for medical questions
We are delighted that Dr. Nicolai Berardi will be joining us in Bern. He is one of the most experienced medical professionals in Switzerland when it comes to prescribing cannabis and has been supporting patients in their treatment for several years. He already shared valuable insights with us at the first " We, The Patients He will also be there in person in Bern and will be available to answer participants' questions during the breaks.
