Here’s the info-graphic and some commentary ahead of the full report next year
- An estimated 22.2 million Brazilians suffer from chronic pain in the lower back and neck.
- Were Brazil to legalize medical cannabis, within the first 36 months of sales the number of qualified patients could reach 959,000 under a restrictive list of qualifying conditions (i.e., not including chronic pain), or roughly 3.4 million under an expansive list of conditions (covering chronic pain).
- An expansive program featuring chronic pain as a qualifying condition and patient counts of 3.4 million patients would translate to annual revenues of roughly BRL 4.4 billion (USD 1.4 billion).
