This is an ever-growing list of organizations that have taken action to formally support patient access to therapeutic cannabis. Healthcare professionals are strongly encouraged to take action within their specialty organizations by urging and assisting them in formally supporting patient access to cannabis through a resolution or position paper. Please contact Patients Out of Time for assistance if needed and notify us of any organization that passes a supportive paper. As the list continues to grow, politicians and policy makers will have the necessary support to change the laws and end the cannabis prohibition.
