Medicinal Cannabis Matters: Friday Roundup – 19th September 2025

As the largest award-winning medical cannabis clinic in the Channel Islands, Medicann is proud to now offer our specialist services across the whole of the UK — including England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. Wherever you are, we’re here to help guide you on your journey to safe, effective treatment.

Could Medicinal Cannabis Help You Sleep Better?

If you struggle with insomnia and haven’t found relief through traditional methods, recent research offers hope. Studies show that cannabis-based medical products (CBMPs) may help improve both the quality and duration of sleep.

According to Diabetes.co.uk, many people using CBMPs report better, more restful nights — a promising sign for those battling sleeplessness.

If poor sleep is affecting your daily life, medicinal cannabis might be an option worth exploring as part of your treatment plan.

Understanding Medical Cannabis Access Across the UK

Medical cannabis is becoming an increasingly recognised treatment option across the UK, with a growing patient community now firmly established. Currently, there are approximately 50,000 to 60,000 active patients receiving medicinal cannabis treatment. This number is expected to rise significantly, with estimates suggesting that around 80,000 individuals will be prescribed medical cannabis during 2025.

This growth reflects both improved awareness among healthcare professionals and patients, as well as ongoing efforts to make access easier and more straightforward. At Medicann, we’re proud to be part of this expanding patient community and are committed to helping even more people across England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland explore the benefits of medical cannabis.
