Video appointments and telephone consultations complement in-person care and can significantly improve access to treatment, particularly in underserved or rural areas. Similar digital models are already common for a range of other prescription medicines, including treatments related to men\u2019s health or obesity. The regulatory question therefore goes beyond medical cannabis and reflects a broader shift toward digital healthcare services.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Medical autonomy as the\u00a0guiding\u00a0principle<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Regardless of the format of consultation, one fundamental principle must remain central: clinical decision-making lies with the treating physician. This includes not only deciding which medication is\u00a0appropriate, but\u00a0also\u00a0determining\u00a0the most suitable form of interaction with the patient. Whether a physical examination is\u00a0required, a phone call for a dosage adjustment is sufficient, or a video consultation is\u00a0appropriate should\u00a0remain a matter of professional judgment. With that discretion comes full responsibility, independent of the communication channel used.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Clear\u00a0guardrails\u00a0for digital care models<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For digital prescribing models to function responsibly, clear regulatory guardrails are\u00a0essential. This includes reliable patient identification in telemedical consultations as well as transparent and\u00a0well-documented\u00a0treatment processes.\u00a0It also requires consistent enforcement of existing legal frameworks \u2013 such as Germany\u2019s Act on the Advertising of Medicinal Products (Heilmittelwerbegesetz, HWG) \u2013 to ensure that prescribing decisions are not influenced by improper marketing or commercial incentives. At the same time, patients\u2019 freedom to choose their pharmacy\u00a0should remain protected, and a clear structural separation between medical prescribing and commercial distribution interests across the supply chain should be\u00a0maintained.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A balanced regulatory approach<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The ongoing discussion around telemedicine in the cannabis sector reflects a broader transformation in healthcare delivery. As digital care models continue to evolve, regulation should\u00a0remain\u00a0technology-neutral while keeping medical responsibility at its core.\u00a0Telemedicine is neither a cure-all nor a structural risk in itself.\u00a0The real task is to ensure\u00a0high standards\u00a0of care and patient protection while allowing modern forms of healthcare delivery to develop responsibly.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Anything else?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Do you have specific questions or suggestions for the Cannabis Briefing?
