A Cannativa — Cannabis Studies Association, will be heard today in Parliament, within the scope of the Hearings integrated in the Working Group “Use of cannabis for medicinal purposes”, in the Assembly of the Republic, and will hand over, to each deputy present at the Hearing, the “Open Letter for Patient Access to Medicinal Cannabis in Portugal".
The session will be broadcast at 17:30 on the Parliament Channel in http://www.canal.parlamento.pt/.
Cannapress will present an excerpt from the documentary “Patients – Waiting for the law”, for which several doctors and patients using medical cannabis in Portugal are being interviewed.
Cannativa receives daily contact from patients looking for help and more information in the area of cannabinoid treatment and has therefore decided to give them a voice in this documentary.
