Patients with multiple sclerosis found a cannabis club in Puglia

Lucia Spiri and Andrea Trisciuoglio, both living with multiple sclerosis, founded LaPianTiamo in Racale, Puglia, as a cannabis social club for patients. They wanted to grow cannabis together and get a steadier supply than the slow import procedure gave them. Growing together was not allowed by law, so the club was also a campaign to change it.^[1]^[2]
