What medical cannabis is

Medical cannabis is the use of substances extracted from the Cannabis sativa plant, mainly the cannabinoids, for therapeutic purposes, with a prescription and medical follow-up.

What sets medical use apart is the method: products with a known composition and dose, a clear indication defined after a clinical assessment, and adjustments based on each person's response.

• forms of use: oils under the tongue, capsules, sprays and, sometimes, topical products;
• goal: to relieve symptoms and improve quality of life;
• role: it usually complements other treatments and should never replace them on your own initiative.
