There are still a few hurdles and approvals to go through, but by the end of this year, medical cannabis will be available to citizens of Spain.
The list of approved reasons for usage is very limited, and the forms it comes in will also be very limited. Also, the only people who can prescribe it will be specialist docots, and the only place it will be dispensed will be hospital pharmacies. But, it’s still a step in the right direction and a big first move. Carola Perez, a well-known patient advocate and president of the Spanish Observatory for Medicinal Cannabis, a group of patients, doctors and researchers dedicated to cannabis reform, said, “We have been fighting for this moment for the last seven years,” she said by phone from her home in Spain. “It is also clear that we still have much to do.” here a few years ago, cannabis was only legal in limited locations in Europe, such as the Netherlands, now, it’s finally gaining more legal ground across the continent. Some form of cannabis legalization is now or soon will be available in Spain, Germany, The Netherlands, France, Italy, Portugal, Luxembourg, greece, Denmark, and Switzerland.
