Cannabis flower: Cannabis flower means the dried flowering tops of the plant supplied as a medicinal product. Patients may see it listed alongside oils or capsules in specialist settings.

Many new patients know only the community term “flower”, so a neutral medical definition reduces confusion.

UK patients may encounter flower in private prescribing contexts; NHS public guidance remains much narrower overall.

“Flower” describes a dosage form, not a recommendation to smoke it. Route and device advice still matter.
