The cannabis patient experience needs to be improved. First stop is access to quality medicine at affordable prices from transparent providers who are willing to publicly publish lab test results. If you agree like and RT to raise awareness! #MedicalCannabis #PatientExperience

@debzly Hello Deb. Thank you for commenting and lovely to virtually meet you. The cost is a huge issue and prevents lots of people accessing prescribed cannabis. Happy that you are happy. It’s lovely to learn about positive experiences and share them too.

‘According to figures released by NHS Business Service Authority (NHSBSA) in January, a total of 89,239 prescriptions for unlicensed cannabis medicines were issued between November 2018 and July 2022.’ #MedicalCannabis

@Legalisecanabo The amount of prescriptions dispensed and the amount of reported patients on those graphs we get in newsletters is very concerning.

[Can Do ♿️🦓 @patientsfirstcd]

‘Despite a mandatory reporting requirement supposedly having been in place for NHS trusts since April 2022, it remains unclear why no data has been collected.’ Very disappointing outcome and calls again for accountability and regulation. #MedicalCannabis

‘One of its recommendations was the development of a patient registry to collect data on those being prescribed cannabis medicines, in order to help build the evidence around its safety and efficacy.’ #CannabisCommunity #Health

Ethan Russo discusses what’s wrong with the industry. He eloquently shares one of the key issues. Everyone is replicating the same idea, believing they can do it bigger, cheaper = better. The emerging industry needs to think differently. #PrecisionMedicine

@patientsfirstcd This would nor be acceptable for any other medication😡😡

It’s been 3 weeks and I don’t think the prescription has even been processed.. Clinic said next year at the earliest to dispense. These companies take our money and the service is terrible. #PatientExperience #PrivateHealthCare

@Curaleaf_Pharm my script has been with you for over a month and still delays. No one answering emails and today I was caller 27 in the queue.... this was the same all last week. Supply needs to be consistent otherwise people are left in chronic pain and stress😡😡

Do not travel to the Netherlands with your prescribed cannabis. Check with the embassy as it can take a minimum of 8 weeks to get your travel letter legal. Otherwise you risk a fine or imprisonment. Cannabis is part of the Dutch Opium act. #MedicalCannabis

You see fighting for yourself is quite instinctive….Your adrenaline handles that. Fighting for others is a whole different kettle of fish.
