Since the legalization of recreational cannabis, some now dispute the need for medical cannabis clinics, however, most new patients require support from a healthcare professional. Not only for the perks of holding a prescription or for treatment and product guidance, but more importantly for harm reduction. New patients are often seeking ways to reduce or stop prescription drugs. Cannabis contains many components (cannabinoids, terpenes, etc) potentially able to induce clinically significant or non-significant drug interactions. Introducing medical cannabis to a patient's pharmacopeia needs extra precaution, as it increases the risk of experiencing an interaction. Interactions can vary considerably when taking into account dosage, the natural variability of cannabinoids, THC and CBD ratios, methods of administration and a patient's metabolism. Pharmacists are not all equipped to provide counsel for medical cannabis treatment, and until we can purchase medical cannabis through a pharmacy we need specialized clinics and trained healthcare professionals.

17% of people who take medical cannabis in Canada use it to manage IBS symptoms - Medical Cannabis Access Survey. Though a considerable number, human studies are still lacking and have yet to confirm significant effects. "There is no one-size-fits-all approach for managing Irritable Bowel Syndrome since every individual has their own unique experience with symptoms and triggers."- Canadian Digestive Health Foundation This is why medical cannabis is rarely the first choice treatment, its effectiveness varies greatly from one person to another. For some where classic treatments have failed can opt for medical cannabis, with personalized treatment plans and monitoring from a healthcare professional.

"Medicinal #Cannabis has been approved by the insurer based off an IME report" - NOW WHAT? This is a statement we receive all the time in our referrals. Although approval may have been granted by the insurer, this does not mean the medication itself is going to be effective. Who do you ask whether this medicine is effective? The prescriber? The patient? The NTD? - What about Independent Med Management ? The purpose for the Medicinal Cannabis Management Program (#MCMP) is to establish clear treatment goals prior to commencing a 12 week TRIAL. Our pharmacists will critically evaluate whether these agreed goals have been successful before providing an opinion whether ongoing funding outside of this timeframe is considered reasonable.

If it is medicine, it is and should be subsidized
With most of the attention in the German medical cannabis industry currently directed towards so-called "self-payer" or "private" patients, I'm unsure whether there's still much of an audience for this data. But just in case, GKV-GAmSi recently published the medical cannabis reimbursement figures for Q4 2023. That market continues to grow slowly, with about €209 million covered by statutory health insurers in 2024, up 5.6% from 2023's €198 million.
