Reviewed for MCPH governance and review metadata. MCPH is a patient-led information site, not a clinic, pharmacy, prescriber, or emergency service.
MCPH provides general information about medical cannabis for UK patients, carers, and interested readers. It is not personal medical advice.
The site does not diagnose conditions, assess eligibility, recommend doses, prescribe treatment, or tell you to start, stop, or change any medicine. Decisions about medical cannabis, side effects, interactions, driving, mental health, pregnancy, or changing prescribed medicines should be made with a qualified clinician.
Evidence around medical cannabis varies by condition, product, dose, patient history, and the outcome being measured. Where MCPH discusses possible effects, benefits, risks, cannabinoids, terpenes, or strains, this should be read as general context rather than a guarantee of benefit.
If symptoms are urgent or severe, use NHS 111, 999, or local emergency services as appropriate.
