8. Problem
A lot of patients contact us via our website, asking
for help. Most of them have very heavy diseases
(cancer, AIDS, orphan disease…). They need a
French doctor and/or a lawyer to help them. But
very few professionals knows about medical
cannabis in France.
UFCM 2014 needs to create and train a strong
network of doctors and lawyers all over France. A
lot of patients are suffering and our mission is to
help them as more as possible!

France to help patients when they contact us

and politics (1 Paris, 1 Marseille, 1 TBD)
