Medical Cannabis

Medical cannabis refers to a cannabis-based medicinal product (CBMPs) that meets strict pharmaceutical standards. Unlike illegal cannabis, these products are regulated for quality, consistency, and safety and must be manufactured according to UK regulations. In the UK, medical cannabis is legal when prescribed by a specialist, typically within a private clinic like Curaleaf Clinic.

Medical cannabis can be prescribed in a variety of formats, depending on individual need, including:

  • Oils administered under the tongue (sublingually)
  • Dried cannabis flower inhaled using a medical-grade vaporiser
  • Capsules and pastilles swallowed for slow, controlled release

In the UK, medical cannabis is only prescribed to patients who have a diagnosed condition that has not responded to traditional therapies. At Curaleaf Clinic, it is most commonly prescribed for chronic pain, neurological disorders, and anxiety.
