One is the nation of Greece, which announced late last month it would officially be opening its doors to medicinal cannabis use. Leafly noted that, like the latter two countries, Greece still has to work out how cannabis will be produced and distributed to patients under Tsipras' party's proposal. Yesterday, the Canadian AIDS Society (CAS) announced a "first of its kind research program" that is designed to give medical and research professionals the access and tools they need to stay up-to-date on our evolving awareness of medicinal cannabis. Led by an expert Cannabis Research Task Force, the project will further aim to "develop guidelines and recommendations regarding the medical use of cannabis for optimal wellness, quality of life and pain management." According to the CAS, an estimated 10% of Canadian physicians have written an authorization for medical cannabis.
