Cannabis therapy for Lucerne
Around 83,000 people live in Lucerne, and the Central Switzerland catchment area with Schwyz, Zug, Nidwalden, Obwalden and Uri covers over 800,000. With the Lucerne Cantonal Hospital, basic medical care is well developed, yet medical cannabis remains uncommon in Central Switzerland's pharmacies too.
Patients from Lucerne regularly report that for a cannabis prescription they either face long waiting times at specialised practices or have to commute to Zurich or Bern. evidena.care offers a direct alternative that works regardless of location.
The consultation takes place by video, the prescription goes digitally to the Sumiswald pharmacy in the Emmental or another partner pharmacy, and the medication is sent to you in Lucerne by post or can be collected on site.
