the non-profit association "Protection of Medical Cannabis Patients" , was born in Lecce, puglia, on May 1st 2022, la sua fondazione è scaturita dall’ esigenza di tutelare i diritti fondamentali de cittadini ammalati, under treatment with medical cannabis, or patients who want to undertake this therapeutic path, still so demonized today, enforcing the article 32 of the Italian Constitution. our association, totally managed by sick citizens, under treatment with medical cannabis, while maintaining their autonomy of thought, remaining apolitical, non-partisan and non-denominational, è appoggiata da medici e professionisti del settore. il nostro obiettivo è quello di tutelare tutti i cittadini ammalati che trovano difficoltà nel trovare medici che prescrivono questa terapia, which despite being legal in Italy since 2007, è ancora poco conosciuta dagli stessi, trying to raise awareness of the issue as many people as possible, in quanto la cannabis medica è una sostanza benefica, suitable for various pathologies, used by many, even children, finding benefits, that cannot be obtained with other therapeutic pathways.
