Abstract
The cannabis plant is used to relieve incapacitating symptoms that are refractory to recommended treatments and to improve quality of life, often as a treatment of last resort. Despite growing patient demand and political will in Switzerland, access to cannabinoids for medical use remains complicated in practice, due to the limitation of robust medical indications, high cost (most often non-reimbursed) and doctor's lack of knowledge how to prescribe them. Given the low risks of cannabinoids for medical use, a pragmatic approach would be to respect "the right of patients" to access these treatments, enabling patients to evaluate their effect, reinvest in the therapeutic relationship and regain a central and active role in the management of their illness.
