The meeting was split into two thematic sessions. The first session discussed ‘National policies and access to cannabis treatment’, with presentations by professionals, experts and researchers from Hungary, the Czech Republic and Spain. 

The second session discussed the ‘Availability, provision and quality of cannabis treatment’ and included presentations by professionals, experts and researchers from France, Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark.
