More ways to help.
Build a stronger case through lawful participation, accurate evidence and clear requests. These routes welcome different views; none guarantees legalisation, medicine access or a government response.
Make a written consultation submission
Check the actual official call, committee, scope and closing date. Explain the rule, evidence, practical remedy and possible risks. Do not reuse an expired invitation.
Explore this route →Engage Parliament directly
Parliament announced a route for members of the public to petition the National Assembly directly. Confirm the current applicable House requirements and submission channel before lodging. An MP may assist; a campaign signature is not an automatically lodged petition.
Explore this route →Request reasons and regulatory clarity
Document the process and dates, ask the responsible authority for a written explanation and retain its response. Obtain qualified legal advice about any review route or deadline; do not assume a campaign submission preserves your rights.
Explore this route →Offer professional evidence and time
Clinicians, nurses, lawyers, researchers and other specialists can register their expertise, offer a workstream and submit sourced proposals. Registration never grants access to patient files.
Explore this route →Document patient access responsibly
Start with the minimal access-impact questionnaire. Supporting proof is optional and requires a separately approved, limited request. Seek care for your health, not to manufacture campaign evidence.
Explore this route →Build a balanced evidence review
Include research that supports or challenges a proposal, source dates, study limitations, conflicts of interest and potential public-health safeguards. Do not treat testimony as proof of clinical efficacy.
Explore this route →Organise accessible community sessions
Use neutral facilitation, reviewed translations and paper forms. Welcome opposing views. Do not pressure people to sign, disclose a condition or pay for a diagnosis.

Patient appointment discussion checklist
FOR YOUR OWN HEALTHCARE DISCUSSION — NOT A REQUEST FOR A CAMPAIGN DIAGNOSIS Seek assessment for genuine symptoms or care needs. Do not stop or change prescribed treatment based on campaign material. A clinician decides what assessment and care are appropriate. Questions you may choose to discuss: - What are the reasonable treatment options, benefits and risks? - Are there lawful alternatives if access is difficult? - What is the appropriate follow-up or urgent-care plan? - If an access barrier is relevant, can it be described accurately in a brief summary? A diagnosis does not establish that cannabis is an appropriate treatment or guarantee an authorisation. A nurse or other professional should work within their own scope of practice. SAHPRA explains that the prescribing medical practitioner applies for Section 21 authorisation. For campaign evidence, keep full records with your care provider. Only consider a minimal, approved extract after the restricted workflow is open. Do not send records by social media or an ordinary campaign email.
