Medical Cannabis Card

While some other countries do require that medical cannabis patients hold a valid medical cannabis card in order to access their prescription, there is no such legal requirement for UK patients. However, if you are prescribed medical cannabis from Releaf, you will receive a Releaf medical cannabis card within 3 days of becoming a registered Releaf patient. This medical cannabis card has been designed with the support of UK authorities, making it easier for our patients to quickly prove that they have the legal right to carry and take their prescribed medical cannabis products. The Releaf medical cannabis card displays a QR code, which is unique for every card and patient. This QR code holds all the information related to the patient's Releaf medical records, including their active patient status and current (and all past) prescriptions.
