Is medical cannabis right for me?
Medical cannabis is legal in the UK if prescribed by a specialist for certain health problems.
To be eligible for medical cannabis, you need to have a diagnosed physical or mental health condition that has not been relieved by traditional therapies. A specialist will review your records to confirm that medical cannabis is the best option for you and that you don’t have any contraindications.

Questions?
We answer your most common questions here, like if medical cannabis is legal and how you take it.

Is medical cannabis legal?
Yes, medical cannabis is legal when prescribed to eligible patients by a specialist doctor on the GMC register. Prior to 1st November 2018 medical cannabis was categorised by the Home Office as a schedule 1 drug. Based on the evidence to support its use as a medicine by the Chief Medical Officer it was reclassified to permit its prescribing as a controlled drug. This means that medical cannabis is legal when prescribed by specialist doctors on the GMC register within the area of their expertise, and when agreed upon by a multidisciplinary team adhering to all existing protocols for controlled drugs. Curaleaf Clinic adhere to all these criteria.

What is medical cannabis?
Medical cannabis encompasses a wide range of products including oils, pastilles and flower – which are all taken in different ways.
Oils: Most oils come with an oral syringe. Oral syringes are marked to enable accurate measurement of the dose prescribed. 1ml syringes are marked in steps of 0.1ml. These oral syringes may be washed in warm soapy water then rinsed to reuse them. The bottles come with instructions, contained in the letter sent to you by your doctor.
Flower: Medical cannabis in flower form should be consumed using a medical-grade vaporiser. Vaping dried cannabis involves heating the flower of the plant to release the active compounds into a vapor, which is then breathed in using a vape device. There are three medical grade vaporisers and medication will be prepared differently between devices.
Pastilles: Pastilles are medical cannabis products with a jelly-like consistency that are flavoured and coloured. They are taken by mouth by sucking on or chewing them, before swallowing.

What is THC?
THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is the primary psychoactive compound found in cannabis. It is responsible for most of the psychological effects- such as the ‘high’ – that some people experience when they consume cannabis.
THC is not illegal and can be prescribed for patients with a mental or physical health condition which has not responded to first line treatments. Combining THC with CBD (cannabidiol) is often considered effective for managing the symptoms of various conditions, as CBD can help counteract some of THC’s effects.
