- Position:
- Pro to the question "Should Marijuana Be a Medical Option?"

-
“I’m a specialist in Anesthesiology and Intensive Care, particularly interested in Pain Therapy and in Phytotherapy. Because of my interest in these fields, I discovered cannabis. At the beginning the interest was only ‘academic’, but the medical literature was convincing for me. Then I discovered a lot of patients whose sufferings were relieved only by this plant.”
