Yet many of the most urgent problems facing this sector are not being addressed. Patients are experiencing uncertainty and extended waiting periods for their medicine.

Email Tips

  • Read the letter in full first. It only takes a few minutes to understand.

  • Make it your own – change any part you don’t agree with. This is your story and your experience.

  • Share your experience – include details about how medicinal cannabis affects your life. Think of it from the perspective of leaders who may have only seen negative messaging for decades; your story may be the first positive experience they hear.

  • Keep it concise and honest – MPs respond most to real-life experiences.
