A travel letter is a document that confirms a patient’s need for specific medicines when travelling abroad. This is especially important when travelling with medical equipment or liquids over 100ml. A travel letter is also necessary for any prescription of controlled drugs, including medical cannabis.
If you are a medical cannabis patient at Curaleaf Clinic and plan to travel abroad with your medicine, it is recommended that you discuss this with our team at least 30 days in advance of travelling, so we can support you with any necessary documentation.

Yes, you’ll need a travel letter which is signed by your clinician to confirm your medication is prescribed to you. We can provide this; patients can contact Patient Support or request one through your online account up to 30 days before you travel.
Travelling with medical cannabis requires planning ahead as each country has different rules regarding the legality of medical cannabis. You should always check your destination country’s legal status on medical cannabis as well as what documentation you’ll need to bring with you.

Some countries may require a travel letter to bring medical cannabis into a foreign country. You should always check with the embassy for the country you are visiting to confirm what documentation is needed to travel with your medication.
