#MCAW An initiative launched and coordinated by our friends, @plea_community. It’s been three years since it has been legally possible to prescribe cannabis as a medicine. The information isn’t widespread enough and there is still so much stigma and shame surrounding the subject.

Medical Cannabis Awareness Week will return, from 1-7 November, to mark three years since the law changed. We're delighted to be providing coverage throughout the week, stay tuned for more info on events in the coming days. #MCAW2021 @PLEA_community cannabishealthnews.co.uk/2021/10/26/med…

The theme for Medical Cannabis Awareness Week #MCAW2021 hosted by @PLEA_community is the importance of Real World Evidence in evolving access to treatment. We look forward to being part of it! Find out more and register pleacommunity.org.uk/mcaw #medicalcannabis #cannabiseducation
