CBPM: CBPM is a common abbreviation for cannabis-based medicinal product or, more formally in UK guidance, cannabis-based product for medicinal use. It is standard jargon in clinics, professional discussion and patient communities.
Patients will repeatedly see this abbreviation in UK medical cannabis content.
UK prescribing rules are tied to this category and to who may initiate prescribing.
The abbreviation can hide important differences between licensed medicines, unlicensed specials and broader cannabis-derived products.
