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.
