There is a lack of access of citizens to medical cannabis despite its legalization, according to the Federation of Cyprus Patients' Associations.

In a statement, the Federation notes that here and For years, organized patients have been fighting for the legalization of the use of medical cannabis, the law for its cultivation, introduction and use was passed in 2019, “but since then it seems that the competent-” incompetent “do not find a way to implement it.” >

The OSAK states that it refuses to accept the observed delay and stresses that it is unacceptable for patients who urgently need medical cannabis for the purpose of better management of the health problems they face – such as chronic pain and. a., to not be able to access it.

“Unfortunately, the organized patient movement observes that the legalization of the use of medical cannabis in Cyprus does not mean anything at all, since it is not available to patients for use. “As it has been shown, the issue of access is wrongly confused with the production of medical cannabis, with the result that no progress has been made on the issue,” he said.

OSAK notes that the Ministry of Health, instead of dealing with the important issues related to patients' access to medical cannabis, has unfortunately been trapped in production issues that have nothing to do with the request and needs of hundreds of patients to access medical cannabis “, the Federation continues.

OSAK states that finally the cultivation and production should be disconnected with its disposition and the state should take care to put an end to the suffering of patients with serious health problems, ensuring a better quality of life.
