#MCAW An initiative launched and coordinated by our friends, @plea_community. It’s been three years since it has been legally possible to prescribe cannabis as a medicine. The information isn’t widespread enough and there is still so much stigma and shame surrounding the subject.
Today marks the start of Medical Cannabis Awareness Week 2021 🌱
With just 3 NHS prescriptions having been issued 3 years on from the law change allowing doctors to prescribe medical cannabis, #MCAW2021 aims to highlight the real need for real-world evidence in evolving access.
