Who can prescribe medical cannabis in UK?

Whilst many people may refer to cannabis as marijuana, it has a long history of inappropriately stigmatising individuals from Central and South America. Therefore, the correct terminology to use is medical cannabis, rather than medical marijuana.

Medical cannabis must be prescribed by specialists on the GMC register on a ‘named patient’ basis within the area of their expertise, agreed upon by a multidisciplinary team and adhering to all existing protocols for controlled drugs. Curaleaf Clinic adheres to all these criteria.
