Good news homies! Since the legalisation of medical cannabis in the UK in 2018, we hadn’t got any positive news. But after a long time, we have some legal action going on in our favour. Especially for those who are in dire need of it.

Meaning of medical cannabis Patient Board

The LYPHE Group just announced that they are going to create the 1st ever medical cannabis Patient Representative Board. Do you know how big this is? We have struggled for so long and now our wishes are finally taken seriously by the government.

The general perception when it comes to a medical patient using cannabis, marijuana is scoffing and stuttering laughs. They think all of us are addicts. That’s not it. LYPHE Group is one of the most important medical cannabis groups that have various telehealth clinics and an excellent cannabis dispensing system. 

This Patient Representative Board has various functions and duties. It is created to monitor the concerns and issues of patients along with a key focus on independent cases, charities, and patient groups. The area which the board will cover includes the UK, Isle of Man, and Channel Island. 

Aim of the medical cannabis Patient Representative Board

The major aim of this board is to help out the patients who are in dire need of professional advice and legal medical information. Due to the illegal categorisation and blanket ban on cannabis for so many years, it is quite difficult for the population to get on the same page as the government. 

Now, the medical cannabis Patient Representative Board will hear loud and clear opinions and problems that an average patient has to deal with. They will work closely with the patients and will try to provide some kind of relief to them.  

Purpose of the medical cannabis Patient Representative Board

To help! That’s it. It is as simple as that. According to the Managing Director of the LYPHE Group, Johnathan Nadler, “I’m delighted LYPHE is taking the initiative in working closely with patients. We want to build a stronger, more sustainable industry whilst continuing our journey for full patient access”.

So, by covering areas like the UK, Isle of Man, and Channel Island, they are trying to help as many people as people. LYPHE Group is a credible organisation that really wants to work with patients and ease their pain.

Benefits of the medical cannabis Patient Representative Board

The Managing Director of LYPHE Group also stated that “The issues that impact our business, and the medical cannabis industry, ultimately impact our patients, which is why improving transparency with patient groups is vital.”

So, while having the interest of increasing their organisation’s presence, they are also helping the wider patient community. So, any patient, charity, or patient group that is interested in joining the board can register by emailing the details on their official website.
