The Mothers for Cannabis Movement, founded in Portugal in May 2022 by hundreds of patients seeking access to cannabis for therapeutic purposes, launched a petition claiming the personal and associative cultivation of patients as a human right. Paula Mota, founder of the Movement, states that, “although Portugal already has more than 20 companies producing cannabis, patients do not have access to treatments with cannabinoids” and regrets that they are “forced to resort to the illicit, unregulated market, incurring, many times, in the commission of crimes”.
