Hello everyone.

Has anyone else read about the case where a man developed a severe cannabis dependence after a single video consultation with a private clinic, leading to an 18‑month struggle with addiction and ultimately his suicide?

In particular, the involvement of the Curaleaf Clinic has raised questions about how such clinics operate, especially online ones that may prescribe high‑strength products without thorough in‑person assessments, continuous support, or monitoring for dependency.

Do you think tighter regulations are needed for cannabis prescriptions, or was this an exceptional situation? What safeguards should be in place to protect vulnerable patients?
