So honoured to join and help advocate for access on all levels. Patients using cannabis are the most vulnerable due to their complex medical needs and struggle to have a voice. My patients are thriving and need to be heard by Health Canada when it comes to cost of cannabis products but also regarding the cost savings related to better health outcomes and increased quality of life. Parents go back to work when their kids stop seizing. Patients become more connected to their communities and re-enter the workforce when their pain is controlled. Healthcare costs related to hospitalizations and long term disability are reduced for many patients once they stablize on cannabinoids. I’ve never seen anything revolutionizing healthcare as much as cannabinoids - One day we will look back and see these as influential as the discovery of Penicillin. Looking forward to seeing everyone in Ottawa!
