Cannabis grower and Crohn's disease patient, Giorgos Avgeris, 35, inspects drying Carmagnola hemp strain branches, in Trikala, Greece, August 29, 2019. Thousands of patients in Greece are thought to use cannabis for a range of serious medical conditions but for years many of them had to buy it illegally. Under Greece's current licensing system introduced in 2017, medicinal cannabis products are available on prescription from pharmacies, with patients with ailments such as multiple sclerosis saying it has been a life-changer for them.
