If you have questions or concerns about cannabis medicines, and how to take them please read this page first…
Medical cannabis has been legal to prescribe in the UK since 2018. It is prescribed by specialist consultants to patients who have tried 2 or more conventional/NHS medicines and still not found relief.
We are currently offering free medical cannabis appointments for life to our first 500 patients. After this, clinic fees are either £30 or £60 for 6 months depending on your eligibility for access schemes. This works out to £5 or £10 a month.
Medication costs are additional, and start from £40 a month per medication. The amount of medication you are prescribed is decided between you and your doctor. To learn more, please read our clinical governance statement.
