A new survey has found that more than half of GPs are now open to prescribing medicinal cannabis. The survey, which was carried out by the Royal College of General Practitioners, found that 56% of GPs would be willing to prescribe medicinal cannabis if it was legal to do so. More and more people are starting to see the potential benefits of medicinal cannabis. It’s a safe and effective treatment for a variety of conditions, including chronic pain, epilepsy, and cancer. I hope that this survey will help to encourage more doctors to prescribe medicinal cannabis to their patients.
