Why this term matters

Patients often worry about this even more than prescribing rules.

UK medical cannabis context

This is better handled as an information page with careful legal caveats rather than a definitive promise.

What not to assume

A lawful prescription does not always remove occupational consequences; employer policy and role-specific rules matter.

Careful wording: Avoid implying an employer must always accept detection because the medicine is prescribed.
