True Leaf Supports Call for B.C. to Allow Naturopaths to Provide Safe Access to Medicinal Cannabis - Seite 2

"Access to medicinal cannabis is a 'wild west' situation today. There are various sources of supply, some legal and some not," said Mr. Harcourt. "True Leaf is ready to collaborate with all health professionals and work together to create safe access and an effective dispensing system focused on enhancing quality of life for patients. After all, it's all about the patient."
