Can I travel with medical cannabis?

Going on holiday abroad with medical cannabis is a complex subject, as there is no universal answer. The legality of medical cannabis varies from country to country.

As a good first step, you should always contact the embassy of the country you’re planning to visit. You’ll be able to check the legal status of medical cannabis and what you might need to take for visiting your destination country.

While some countries have legalised medical cannabis, other countries don’t recognise medical cannabis, with some countries giving out serious penalties if you’re found with medical cannabis, even with a prescription.

Assuming you’re planning on returning to the UK, you should ensure that you read this document.
