From February 2024, Greece will officially prescribe medicinal cannabis, which is administered via whole-dried cannabis flowers using a medical device. It is indicated for severe nausea, chronic pain, spasticity, and appetite loss in palliative care. Only specialists in anesthesiology, neurology, oncology, infectious diseases, or rheumatology can prescribe it.
