Cannabis for the sick, PRC proposed a regional law

A bill to enable the use of cannabis, cannabis from which we obtain marijuana for medical purposes has been presented in the Regional Council Maurizio Acerbo. The text of the law was written by the Regional Council of the PRC in collaboration with Communist associations Luca Coscioni for freedom of scientific research, anxious patients, Cannabis and cannabis. A similar project has already been deposited to the regions of Lombardy and Lazio.

Today, the cannabis derivatives are used for different types of diseases, ranging from palliation of pain for use in oncology, as a soothing side effects of chemotherapy and radio-therapy, the neurological and psychiatric disorders in glaucoma, the post-traumatic stress, migraine, depression, brain trauma, inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, refraining, anorexia and that bipolar syndrome Tourette's, neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's Alzheimer's, Huntington's and Parkinson's disease.

"The proposal for a regional law, if passed," says Acerbo, "which will also in our region can be ensured a drug whose therapeutic applications have long been validated by the most authoritative medical science. Without legislative intervention in the region, the therapeutic use of cannabis is likely to be denied to hundreds of patients suffering from serious illnesses have to grapple daily with uncertain procedures, cumbersome and unnecessarily exhausting. "

Many derivatives of natural or synthetic therapeutic properties of cannabis have recognized for many diseases so as to be included, since 2007, in the ministerial table that allows the prescription prescription. However, in daily practice, the absence of implementing regional protocols makes it effectively impossible for patients to access these drugs, thereby denying many patients the legitimate right to treatment. E 'at this regulatory gap that wants to answer the bill.

The law consists of only seven articles, the last of which provides that losses arising from it are 'included in the overall pharmaceutical spending in the Abruzzo region. "

The bill - the full title is: Provision of drugs and galenic preparations with a basis of cannabinoids for therapeutic purposes - it provides in its Article 1: "Derivatives of Cannabis, in the form of specialty medicines or galenicals masterful, may be prescribed by your doctor or specialist in the Regional Health Service (SSR), which by general practitioners (GPs) are the responsibility of SSR. Where medicines are prescribed in the preceding paragraph by private physician, the expense is caused by the patient. In any case, we require the informed consent of the patient. "

"With the recognition and regulation of 'access to medicinal plant cannabis derivatives and synthetic analogs, which occurred in our country only in recent years," says Maurizio Acerbo in the report accompanying the bill, "the scenario changed and the use of therapy is formally an acquired, but has become a regional law required application under national rules, in order to avoid future confusion and misunderstandings current, unlawful cause of serious and unjustified harm to patients.
