Yes, all of the medication we prescribe is fully legal and regulated. The use of medical cannabis within the UK was made legal as of 1 November 2018, provided it is prescribed by a medical specialist who has taken into account the current evidence and guidelines alongside your particular diagnoses and conditions.

Medical cannabis can be used to treat a variety of conditions where other medications and treatments have failed. Patients living with chronic pain, neuropathy and psychiatric conditions have found benefits.

To be eligible for medical cannabis treatment, you need to have tried other pharmaceutical or therapeutic treatments that have not worked. You also must not have been diagnosed with psychosis or schizophrenia.

Medical cannabis that contains higher amounts of THC carries a small risk of habituation and addiction if used daily for chronic use, but the risk is lower than with other classes of medications such as opioid-based pain medications and possibly lower than benzodiazepines for anxiety and sleep.

Your medical cannabis specialist will monitor you closely for signs of addiction to minimise this risk and choose specific products with lower risk appropriate for your symptoms.

Our team of doctors are experts in treating patients with medical cannabis and will choose your treatment after a comprehensive assessment. Your doctor will review your symptoms, current medications, the pattern of your symptoms and lifestyle factors. They will also monitor and adjust the medication on a regular basis to ensure the best effect with fewest side effects.
