About the initiative

You are kindly invited to attend the 5th seminar in the Demystifying Cannabis cycle, this year under the motto “Cannabis Now”. In recent years, we have been witnessing a renaissance of cannabis in all segments of life, particularly in medicine.

To encourage a debate on the topic, we have been organising seminars on cannabis and its use since 2014 in Ljubljana, Belgrade, Skopje and Zagreb. 

In order to familiarise the general public with the new developments in cannabis research and its medical use, we have again invited eminent Slovenian and foreign lecturers on the topic. The purpose of this and all future seminars to be held within the Demystifying Cannabis cycle is primarily to gather relevant new knowledge which could be useful for doctors, pharmacists, veterinarians, legal and other experts, politicians as well as the broader public in Slovenia. 

During the seminar, the Slovenian and international top-level experts on cannabis will introduce us to the most recent insights into the medical use of cannabis in different countries around the world (Israel, Canada, USA, the Czech Republic, Spain). After their lecture, they will respond to your questions in a debate.

The seminar is intended for the broader public, experts, health professionals, politicians and officials, with the aim of facilitating their decision-making in the future. Our desire is for a constructive debate to develop, as we will be joined by experts who can help us design the best models for cannabis treatment and methods of use,as well as for the accessibility of this precious medicine.

We hope that this year’s seminar will represent a step forward, and that cannabis as a medication will, as soon as possible, be made accessible to everyone who needs it. 

You are therefore cordially invited to support our endeavours with participation.
