WHY I’M AN ADVOCATE

-

Dr Teresa Towpik, GP: “My cannabis story began at the beginning of 2016 when I heard it was going to be legalised for medicinal use.

“That was rather surprising for me because I had no idea there was stuff known as medicinal cannabis. Until then I held a very biased and limited view that it was simply pot – a drug of addiction, gateway drug and definitely to be avoided. “I became curious and started reading and researchin­g. Very quickly my attitude changed from sceptic and opponent to supporter and cannabis activist.”
