Planning to travel with your medical cannabis? Lyphe Clinic can provide a clinician-signed travel letter to accompany your medication. Please allow up to 30 days for processing. The letter will be emailed to you and uploaded to your Patient Portal.

Why might my travel letter be delayed?
Does this letter guarantee legal access to cannabis abroad?
No. The travel letter supports your case, but acceptance depends entirely on the laws of the country and airline policies. Always verify with embassies and airlines in advance.
What happens if I need a new letter midway through my trip?
If your travel dates change while abroad, contact us as soon as possible. We’ll assess whether we can issue an updated letter depending on timing, changes in prescription, or required adjustments, however, this is not something we recommend and we cannot guarantee anything in this scenario.
Will the letter show my dosage and strain details?
Yes, the letter includes your prescribed cannabis prescription details (when safe and appropriate). In rare cases, some sensitive information may be redacted to protect your privacy.
