Mission statement
The mission statement is based on current medical knowledge and practical experience. They are combined in order to serve as practical decision-making aids.
Basic principles:
- The advice is exclusively for the support of seriously ill persons, their relatives and professional groups who are professionally involved with cannabis-based medicines, such as doctors, pharmacists, wholesalers and importers.
- In order to ensure the quality of our advice, we regularly take advantage of training and further education opportunities.
- A treatment recommendation for recreational users cannot be given.
- Before cannabinoids can be prescribed, all available conventional therapies should have been tried, unless there are health reasons for not doing so.
- Advice is always provided in accordance with the current legal situation.
For consulting:
- In principle, it must be carefully examined for each patient whether treatment with cannabis is at all effective.
- The medical history and the derivation of a treatment plan are based exclusively on medical diagnoses.
- The illnesses named by the patient must always be verified on the basis of current diagnostic reports.
- ACM-certified consultants receive intensive technical training during their 12-month training program. All consulting activities are carried out to the best of our knowledge, conscience and on the basis of sound learning content.
- Before applying to the health insurance company for cost coverage, a therapy trial on a private prescription should be successfully completed and carefully documented and certified by the attending physician.
