The stongest cultivar, in terms of THC percentage, that Releaf patients can be prescribed is 26% THC.

If you’re not experiencing any effects from your medical cannabis prescription, It's best to book in for a follow-up consultation with a Releaf specialist. The doctor will take the time needed to understand your health needs and goals, and then review your treatment plan, potentially adjust your dosage or recommend a different product to better suit your requirements.

No, you can choose to purchase items from your prescription as needed. This flexibility allows you to manage your treatment based on your current requirements and budget.

There are four steps to setting up and then using your Releaf cannabis vape pen. 1. Attach your prescribed vape cartridge to the Releaf vape device by clicking it into place. Please ensure that the connection point on both the cartridge and device is clean before attaching. 2. Activate the Releaf vape device by pressing the button 5 times. 3. Once the cartridge is connected and the device is activated, your Releaf THC vape is ready to use. Simply inhale for two to three seconds, then hold your breath for the same amount of time before exhaling. 4. It is always best to start with one single inhalation, as the full onset of effects from THC vapes can take between 10 and 15 minutes. Always follow the instructions of your prescribing specialist.

Releaf patients receive their delivered medication once a month.

Sign in to your Releaf Patient Dashboard and select the ‘Prescription’ tab in the left hand side menu. Click on the ‘Request a Repeat’ button to choose which medication you would like to order. This will then be sent to one of our specialist clinicians for review.

Medical cannabis vape pens, also known as THC vape pens, are a discreet, easily portable, and fast-acting form of medical cannabis prescribed to Releaf patients. They consist of two main parts: a reusable and rechargeable Releaf vape pen device (sometimes referred to as a “battery”) and a replaceable cartridge. The cartridge clicks into the device, and holds a precise formulation of cannabinoids which can include THC, CBD, or a balanced mix of both.

No, the amount of oil in each dose is minimal, so it is unlikely to cause unexpected weight gain. Medical cannabis oil is carefully dosed to meet therapeutic needs without contributing significantly to calorie intake.

If you would like to discuss your current prescription, you will need to book a follow-up consultation with a Releaf prescribing clinician. During the consultation, the clinician will work with you to find a cannabis-based treatment option that aligns with your health needs and treatment goals.

Releaf patients have access to a wide range of cannabis cultivars, grown specifically to meet medical-grade standards. These strains are tailored to suit various conditions, including high-THC, high-CBD, and balanced options, ensuring effective and personalised treatment for each patient.

When you are not using your prescribed THC vape pen, it is best to store it upright in a cool, dark place out of direct sunlight. Please ensure that your Releaf THC vape pen is always stored out of the reach of children.

Vape cartridges offer a few key advantages for certain patients, but this depends on the condition and symptoms being treated: Discreet and portable: THC vape pens produce minimal odour and are extremely compact. They may be the best option for patients who need to medicate throughout the day, in spaces where vaporising medical cannabis flower may not be possible, or while they are out and about. Faster onset than oil: The full effects of THC vapes will be felt within 10 and 15 minutes, perfect for patients needing breakthrough symptom control. Offers more predictable dosing than vaporised flower: While both formats are highly effective, cannabis vape cartridges contain a set ratio of cannabinoids, which can make dosing easier to control for some patients. Easy and simple to use: There's no need to grind, measure, or prepare anything. Just connect the cartridge to the device and inhale. Effective for sudden symptom flare-ups: Medical cannabis vapes can be used on their own or prescribed alongside medical cannabis oils to help manage flare-ups when symptoms strike unexpectedly.

Your prescription will be reviewed within 24-48 hours, although for some rare instances, we may be required to wait for a specific consultant with expertise in the primary condition.

If you feel unwell after taking your prescription you should contact the Patient Support Team at support@releaf.co.uk or call 020 3657 3346. If you are in an emergency situation, call 999 or visit your closest A&E

If you are currently registered as a patient with another private medical cannabis clinic, you will first need to request a patient discharge letter before you can sign up as a Releaf patient. After you have an initial consultation with a Releaf medical cannabis clinician and your case is reviewed by our MDT, a decision will be made regarding issuing a new prescription.
