Conditions
The legalisation of medical cannabis has encouraged wider consideration of its potential where conventional treatments have been ineffective. While clinical research remains developing, patients often explore medical cannabis when standard therapies do not provide relief. If you have tried conventional options for the conditions listed below, you may be eligible for treatment. This list is not definitive, so eligibility may still apply if your condition is not shown.
Since medical cannabis became legal, more people are exploring it as an option when regular treatments haven’t helped. Research is still ongoing, but many patients turn to it when other medicines don’t work. If you’ve already tried standard treatments for the conditions below, you might qualify. And don’t worry if your condition isn’t listed — you may still be eligible.
Chronic Pain
It is estimated that 50% of UK adults are affected by chronic pain. Traditional approaches often rely on opioids, which can carry severe side effects and risk of dependency. Cannabis-based treatment plans offer a safe alternative, with regular doctor check-ins and a personalised path to better health.
Sleeping Disorders
Millions in the UK struggle with sleep issues, from insomnia to disrupted rest. Conventional medications often leave patients groggy or dependent. Medical cannabis can provide a natural alternative, helping restore healthy sleep patterns with ongoing clinical support.
Cancer Support
Patients undergoing cancer treatment may face pain, nausea, and appetite loss, often with limited relief from traditional medicines. Medical cannabis can be used alongside existing therapies to ease symptoms and improve quality of life during treatment.
Mental Health
Conditions such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD can be difficult to manage with standard medications, which may cause unwanted side effects or limited results. Medical cannabis offers a personalised approach that can support mental wellbeing when other treatments have not worked.
Gastroenterological
(IBD, IBS, Crohn’s Disease)
Digestive conditions such as Crohn’s and IBS can be painful, unpredictable, and resistant to standard medicines. Cannabis-based treatment plans may reduce inflammation, pain, and discomfort, offering patients a tailored approach to long-term symptom management.
Neurological
(ADHD, Epilepsy, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s, Dementia & more)
Neurological disorders can involve symptoms like seizures, tremors, spasticity, and neuropathic pain, often with limited success from traditional treatments. Medical cannabis provides an alternative option, designed to help manage complex symptoms under specialist guidance.
