We are dedicated to provide patients with access to prescribed medical cannabis in the areas of chronic pain and psychiatry.
What is Medical Cannabis?
Medical cannabis is an individualised therapy available for patients who have tried and failed with previous treatment options.
Medical cannabis is derived from the cannabis plant and at Chelsea Cannabis Clinic we use full-spectrum extracts, available as oils or flower. This differs from CBD which is available over the counter, which is regulated as a food supplement and not as a medicine. The two main phytocannabinoids we often refer to are CBD and THC.
Medical cannabis contains CBD and THC in varying ratios, your doctor will decide which ratio is best for you depending on your presenting condition, individual symptoms and medical history.
Medical cannabis is currently an unlicensed medicine in the UK. Typically, patients will have already failed to obtain or benefit from previous medication, or they may have experienced intolerable side effects from prior medication. Your doctor will explain this to you in more detail at your first appointment and determine whether you are eligible for treatment with medical cannabis.
