Dutch Medical Cannabis Program

The Dutch Medical Cannabis Program allows patients with specific medical conditions to legally obtain cannabis for treatment through a doctor’s prescription. The government oversees the production and distribution, ensuring quality and safety. Patients can access cannabis via pharmacies or licensed clinics, often paying out-of-pocket. The program aims to provide relief from symptoms like chronic pain and nausea, especially for conditions where other treatments may be ineffective. It is strictly regulated, and patients must be officially diagnosed and authorized by a medical professional to participate.
