d social care professionals as an appropriate treatment option according to research conducted by public health england approximately 7 4 of uk citizens have used cannabis 3 within the past year despite its illegal status for recreational use this highlights how easy it is for people who do not have access to medical care to fall into criminality and risk imprisonment simply for accessing this substance although there are risks associated with the use of medical marijuana products as with any medication patients must weigh up their benefits versus their risks when deciding on whether or not they should pursue prescription treatment involving medicinal cannabinoid products those risk factors and potential side effects include things such as memory impairment dizziness decreased reaction times and possible addiction it is important to note however these side effects are often less severe than traditional treatment options and are usually minimised by using low thc strains research by drug science in their project twenty21 4 study has indicated that patients prescribed cbmp s experience few negative symptoms after administering a dose medical marijuana should be looked at in the same way any other prescription medication is considered regarding the risks and benefits of its use for example chemotherapy for cancer can damage healthy cells and has many unpleasant side effects but when weighed against the potential life saving benefits it becomes a logical course of treatment now that you understand more about medical cannabis uk laws let s take a closer look at recent changes to the law and how they affect those who are seeking to access medical cannabis products legally recent changes to the law medical use of cannabis was legalised in november 2018 within the uk 5 and under current laws it can only be prescribed by a registered specialist doctor because it is a controlled drug the change became public following high profile cases involving two boys with epilepsy whose parents lobbied extensively for medicinal cannabis legalisation a far cry from an over the counter cbd product in 2018 alfie dingley a young boy suffering from a rare and debilitating form of epilepsy became the first child in the uk to receive a prescription for medical cannabis his case helped change the narrative around medicinal cannabis use and forced the government to take action surrounding its regulation and availability the new law also allowed for cannabis based products such as sativex to become eligible for medicinal use through private practices or obtaining an nhs prescription however regulatory complications have made accessing these types of medications difficult and chances of receiving a prescription remain low due to health care providers reluctance to prescribe in september 2020 further changes were made to regulations around cannabis cultivation in theory this enabled companies to legally cultivate cannabis within the uk for pharmaceutical purposes however strict regulations surrounding cultivation impose significant practical barriers for companies trying to start up production of medical cannabis despite being legalised in certain circumstances widespread access to medical marijuana remains limited and this restricts the potential benefits that people could experience from using it as part of their medical treatment according to norfolk liberal democrat mp norman lamb former health minister and cannabis industries association chairperson despite some significant steps forward in recent years such as legalising medical use there is still much work that needs to be done to ensure cannabis products are accessible to those who could benefit from them this is arguably similar to legalising penicillin a drug that may seem innocuous but can have significant benefits for people with life threatening diseases now that we ve reviewed recent changes in uk laws regarding medical cannabis let s delve into the requirements for accessing these products legally through a prescription via a medical cannabinoids dispensary is cultivation allowed in the uk many patients often wonder if they re allowed to grow their own medical cannabis uk laws forbid this unfortunately even with a prescription cultivation of cannabis remains illegal without a proper licence from the home office 6 in fact unauthorised cultivation or possession of any amount of cannabis can lead to serious legal consequences the home office grants licences for the cultivation of medical cannabis under strict conditions through its medicinal cannabis licencing scheme the scheme stipulates that only companies and individuals with a satisfactory security protocol business plan and standard operating procedure are eligible to apply furthermore licensed growers must adhere to strict regulations for cultivation processing storage and distribution in 2016 even with restrictive domestic policies on cannabis use the uk was responsible for exporting an estimated 67 7 of total world medical cannabis 7 making it the largest global exporter despite this regulation obtaining a licence for cultivating medical cannabis can be challenging as the process is rigorous and limited to several specific cases where it s clear that imported pharmaceutical grade products aren t suitable for certain patients those interested in growing their own cannabis should also take into consideration the lack of strain standardisation which could result in variations in potency and inconsistent dosages although some people argue that allowing patients to cultivate their own cannabis for therapeutic use could reduce costs and offer wider strain options with more consistent potency levels than commercial products others believe it would lead to illegal sales and production additionally unsupervised cultivation can increase the risk of contamination or harm due to improper dosing pathogen contamination or pesticide use now that we ve discussed cultivating medicinal cannabis let s take a look at how people can access it licence requirements for accessing cannabis in the uk access to medical cannabis is strictly regulated by laws set by both the mhra the national institute of clinical excellence nice 8 and the home office in most cases patients must have a prescription from a gmc registered specialist doctor or consultant before they can use medical cannabis legally for example if jenny wants to use medical cannabis for treating chronic pain management a qualified physician with relevant expertise in this area must prescribe it private practitioners who specialise in cannabis based treatments can also prescribe medical cannabis for a broader range of conditions like anxiety disorders chronic migraines and chronic pain conditions obtaining a prescription for medical cannabis on the nhs however isn t as easy the national health service only allows four severe conditions multiple sclerosis dravet syndrome lennox gastaut syndrome and chemotherapy induced nausea this limited availability has led some critics to argue that the uk s current regulations surrounding medicinal cannabis are still too restrictive patients with chronic pain or seizures for example have reported difficulties when attempting to obtain prescriptions however these prescriptions are only granted after thorough evaluations by specialists in the relevant fields with appointments lasting no shorter than half an hour patients must have tried two conventional medications 9 before medicinal cannabis can be considered these specialists determine whether medicinal cannabis can offer a better option than conventional treatments furthermore every recommendation is reviewed by the regulatory body responsible for issuing licences for the use of such drugs and patients receiving medications with thc in them are entered into a controlled drugs register think of prescriptions like tickets to board a train or aeroplane you need one to gain legal access to treatment however unlike train or flight tickets which you can simply purchase online obtaining a medical marijuana prescription requires proper qualification certification and extensive bureaucracy checks the ongoing national conversation about the legalisation of cannabis for medical purposes has brought hope to those suffering from various illnesses while official access channels exist through private practices and licenced medical cannabinoid dispensaries cultivating cannabis plants remains illegal without authorised permits and patients are unable to apply for individual licences to grow as a result licences must be acquired by businesses and thus a profit motive is required to grow medicinal cannabis now that we ve covered how people can access their medication let s dig deeper into the types of medical cannabis products available and some potential benefits and risks medical cannabis clinics and services in the uk currently those with an nhs prescription for legal cannabis will find their options quite limited if they wish to purchase their medication within the uk only one licensed producer currently sells prescribed medical cannabis through pharmacies in the uk gw pharmaceuticals sativex spray which contains both cbd and thc 10 epidyolex is a licensed cbd only tincture for use in severe paediatric epilepsy however private medical cannabis clinics have more flexibility around how their patients access medicinal marijuana for those who do have an nhs prescription but cannot access products through a traditional medical cannabinoid dispensary they may be able to obtain medical cannabis from a registered private practice private practices can prescribe a wider range of medical cannabis products than the nhs meaning that patients have greater access to medication tailored to their specific needs while this is encouraging for some patients it also presents challenges many private practices require payment upfront and the costs can be very high compared to street prices or cannabis social clubs 11 this leaves many individuals with little choice but to continue using unregulated products from illegal sources for many people in the uk constant pain is one of the main reasons why they start to look for alternative methods to manage their pain lower back pain is a common condition that affects many patients across the uk common symptoms include long lasting pain legs feeling numb or weak and any redness and or swelling on the back if you want a clear in depth breakdown of when you may be able to consider medical cannabis treatment for lower back pain head over to our lower back pain causes and treatments guide to get started it s similar to purchasing medication at a local pharmacy or buying it online from abroad the former offers assurances regarding quality and safety but may require having insurance coverage or being willing to pay out of pocket expenses the latter requires less documentation but carries higher risks at releaf we offer patients a medical cannabis card to provide peace of mind and reassurance to patients should they ever be questioned by the police purchase from dispensaries and private cannabis clinics when it comes to accessing medical cannabis in the uk options are still limited patients with valid prescriptions for medical marijuana can obtain their medications either directly from a medical cannabinoids dispensary or via a private cannabis clinic that specialises in cannabis based treatments private cannabis clinics and medical cannabinoid dispensaries can prescribe unlicensed cannabis products in the uk that have been produced by a schedule 2 licence holder they have a wider range of products and treatment options available to them such as different medical marijuana cultivars and medical cannabis oils these may be ideal for patients who have exhausted other conventional treatments without success obtaining medical cannabis from private practices does come with costs as consultations with specialists usually cost more than the standard gp appointment fee due to the fact the nhs england doesn t prescribe cannabis products for most conditions eligible patients need to pay for their own medications privately the medical cannabis access bill aims to allow gps to prescribe cannabis it s like having to pay for a private tutor rather than relying on the free education provided by the government schools it s an additional expense but like certain education alternatives that provide better results going through private practices can grant faster access to more specialised care that could lead to better overall outcomes when researching online you will come across various terms like medicinal cannabinoids uk or even legal cannabinoids uk these are the terms used online when describing cannabinoids in cannabis based medicines what truly matters the most here is ensuring that it is prescribed cannabis through a reputable medical cannabis clinic in line with the rules and regulations 1 nhs medical cannabis 2022 url https www nhs uk conditions medical cannabis 2 cannabis
