You do not need a medical cannabis card for your prescription. However, if you are out and about with your medicine it is important to carry copies of any evidence supporting your medical condition and prescription.
Evidence you should carry:
- Copy of your clinic letter from your specialist doctor and/or copy of prescription.
- Proof of ID e.g., driving licence/passport – which matches the name on the prescription/letter.
- Medication container – always ensure you keep medicine in the original container with the pharmacy label.
You can carry your medication with you and in your car, but it is best to avoid leaving your medical cannabis unattended.
We advise that even if you are not carrying your medication, you should still carry evidence supporting your medication.
