Clinics that prescribe Medical Cannabis UK

As far as I am aware, from hearing others experience, trying to get a medical cannabis prescription from your GP is not usually successful.

There are a growing number of private clinics who are offering reasonable (as in not a horrendous cost - for ethical arguments please click here) priced plans.

My personal experience is with Curaleaf. I did try another one a year ago but was rejected before having a consultation. Either I clicked on the wrong answer, which is highly possible, or they told me a reason and I forgot.

I have MS and in some awesome groups, many of whom have a medical cannabis prescription. I will ask them for a brief explanation for the ones they have experience with.

I will put links to the main ones, if anyone has any experience with other legal clinics and would like to write a mini review, please ‘contact’ me and I will share. No dealers dets please. I know nothing.

Curaleaf

• Process quick and relatively simple.

• The initially consulation was only a week after clicking on the ‘NHS - Continue to NHS login’ button’ - this actually made me feel SOOOO much better knowing it was all going through the correct channels.

• 21st September 2025 they say

  ‘At Curaleaf Clinic we specialise in high-quality medical cannabis care. Our experts are here to help you feel confident and empowered in managing your condition.

  Check your eligibility for a consultation by creating an account below.

  Initial consultations are £50.
  Patients must be 18+ years of age to use this service.’

• I chose to subscribe £10 a month including consultations and meetings in the year. I initially eagerly opted to pay £50 for a consultation, so then subscribed and panic emailed ensuring they did not charge me twice. They did not. Thank you Curaleaf, appreciated.

• Customer service so far has been brilliant, replied to my many most probably unnecessary concerned emails quickly in a friendly and informative manner

• It does actually make me feel like a ‘private’ patient - the ‘what feels personal’ Dr follows up one of my many ‘completely unnecessary but important’ questions personally with a lovely clear and friendly email

Consultation

• 20 minute online zoom call

• Friendly laid back, but professional looking/behaving Dr

• Asked me about my medical history and stuff

• I told the Dr I needed medicine that did the following

  -not give me sag face or sunken eyes

  -not made me want to binge eat (I understand this as not having humulene in the strain, but I honestly have not got a clue)

  -made me productive

  -helped ease stress

  -helped ease anxiety

  -helped me be happy

  - ‘Sativa’ day time (I think Sun = Sativa) strain that made me alert so I can work (oil)

  - ’Indica’ night time (in di ca(r), we’re going home to bed) flower

• I need to be able to medicate discreetly at work

• Using my device (Mighty +) in the evenings is different and I like it

I am full of tears, but have no energy to cry

No real reason. Nothing has happened, but I am full of sadness, emptiness and doom.

I would love to have a good cry and release this really horrible empty heaviness, but it is not moving. It is just staying there all gloomy and ruining my lovely Botoxed face.

I feel exhasperated.

A colleague who told another colleague they could come back to school with Covid (I am vulnerable) and announced to the department that is is fine nowadays, and even their GP sister can go to work with it.

Not sure it has bothered me because it is blatant lie and wasting my energy googling it…

AI Overview

No, UK General Practitioners (GPs) with COVID-19 symptoms should stay at home and not go to work, as advised by professional guidance. If they are well enough, they should work from home, and if they become unwell at work, they must go home immediately. 

I LOVE AI, they are my personal guide in life.

…or because I feel they were intentionally trying to be unkind. Which makes me sad. Why do people do that? Doesn’t that make you feel crappy afterwards? I remember people I was horrible to as a child and think about it A LOT. It eats away at me.

Being nice is a much calmer and more peaceful life.

FYI I am not always nice, I am often stroppy and grumpy (mainly to my lovely husband)

Remove my name

I do not need replies. I am firing out questions. Questions that have made me think, that I asked to MYSELF. This is me brain dumping. Please message if anything is offensive/negative/upsetting for anyone.

Does ADHD actually explain what ‘it’ is? Does the name ‘ADHD’ represent ‘it’ accurately?

Are there lots of reports about what causes ADHD?

Do they all agree?

Is there a medical definition for ADHD? Or many definitions?

Do ‘stereotypical’ traits on ADHD, label the person as ‘high risk’?

Would someone labelled ‘high risk’ come across difficulties in life?

Could ‘stereotypical’ traits have a negative impact on that person being judged?

Do you want a label and to be judged?

Do you have a Deficit of Attention?

Is ‘hyper’ measureable?

What is more positive? Being ‘hyper’ or being the opposite of hyper?

Do you actually need someone (or many many people) to tell you what is happening in your own head/body? Do they even actually know? What if there are lots of assumptions that both parties are making, we think they know, they have no clue that they do not know?

Do you need people to make assumptions about you? Or attempt to take away your autonomy?

Is it too early to be sticking permanent labels on people?

Please REMOVE MY NAME from the waiting list, I do not want a diagnosis. EVER

A little bit about me

• love life, nature and medical cannabis

• expert ‘silver lining’ hunter

• love music, but struggle to name songs/artists

• 42 years old

• usually right, unless I am wrong

• I find it difficult to take ‘stupid rules’ seriously

  -definition of ‘stupid rule’ - a rule that makes no logical sense, and that no one can explain apart from ‘it is just the way it’s always been’

• love people, I love knowing EVERYTHING about them, especially their ‘Family/Christmas traditions/quirks’

• love food, really tasty food - would prefer 3 starters than a main and dessert

• love experiences

• love staying at home with no bra on

• love going out, then coming home

• Love going out with people, or having people come round

• but also absolutely thrilled when someone cancels - yippee, bra off

• I invent things most nights. Then my darling husband finds a website showing someone stole my idea five years ago.

• I do not negotiate, but I am also very good at it when I do

• I do not cheat on games, but likewise, with certain friends - I am really good at it

• Also fickle as fuck,

  -if there is room for a giggle, without upsetting anyone

  -something enlightens me, or

  -if I have a brilliant idea

  but until then NOT BUDGING
