What can Releaf Protect help with?

Releaf Protect is intended to support legal questions connected to lawful medical cannabis treatment, including:

  • understanding your legal rights as a prescribed patient
  • employment related concerns linked to medical cannabis
  • interactions with police or other authorities where prescription status is relevant
  • general questions about how UK law applies to prescribed medical cannabis
  • Releaf Protect focuses on providing initial guidance rather than managing a case over time.

    Releaf Protect does not provide help with:

  • issues that are not connected to medical cannabis
  • incidents or disputes that happened before you became eligible
  • criminal activity unrelated to lawful prescription use

  • business, commercial or professional legal matters
  • legal advice sought for someone else
  • FAQs

    The legally binding terms governing your use of Releaf Protect are set out in the Releaf Protect Terms and Conditions
    1. Releaf Protect gives eligible Releaf+ members access to a dedicated legal helpline, provided by an independent law firm working with Releaf. Releaf Protect offers initial legal guidance and support. It is there to help you understand your situation, explain how the law applies to you, and outline sensible next steps. Releaf Protect is not insurance, and it does not guarantee outcomes. It is intended to provide clarity and support, not ongoing legal representation.
