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 the flower form should be consumed by a 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.
You can read our guides in the help centre for more details on how to vape and take oils.
