For an individual personally affected by the current lack of clarity surrounding the availability of medical cannabis, understanding the scale of medical cannabis use is a crucial step forward. There are countless individuals who might benefit from this alternative treatment method, yet it feels as though it will never become accessible.

It is understandable that regulations surrounding medication take time to establish, but when it comes to a potential remedy that may address various ailments from chronic pain to severe epilepsy, it's imperative that access is prioritized. A 2019 study published in the Journal of Psychoactive Drugs found that 60-80% of respondents identified as using cannabis for pain relief (Savic et al., 2019).

By assessing the number of potential medical cannabis users, we can not only gauge the demand but also underscore the necessity of fast-tracking the review of regulations. Acknowledging the reality of how many patients would benefit from medical cannabis is key to enabling access to these individuals.
