Wales has a particular relationship with long-term pain. The Welsh Government formally recognised persistent pain as a national health priority in its 2023 Living with Persistent Pain in Wales framework, noting that a substantial share of adults are affected, with estimates ranging between 11% and 20% of the population.
It's against this backdrop that interest in medical cannabis in Cardiff has been rising. Cannabis-based products for medicinal use (CBPMs) have been legally available on prescription across the UK, Wales included, since 1 November 2018. It isn't a cure, but for some patients it's prescribed as part of a wider plan when other treatments haven't done enough.

How to Get your Medical Cannabis Prescription in Cardiff
Medical cannabis is a prescription medicine, so the process begins with a specialist who assesses you and, where suitable, issues a prescription that a registered UK pharmacy then dispenses and delivers to your door. By law, CBPMs can only be prescribed by a clinician on the General Medical Council's Specialist Register, and only where there is an unmet clinical need.
At Medicann, the whole journey runs in four straightforward stages:

The Benefits of Medical Cannabis
UK medical cannabis is manufactured to pharmaceutical standards and dispensed by a registered pharmacy. Prescriptions offer consistency in strength and composition that unregulated sources can't. Where it's prescribed, potential benefits may include:
Reduction of ongoing discomfort, particularly where pain has been difficult to manage with standard treatments alone
Easing muscle stiffness or spasms, supporting comfort and movement for some patients
Better sleep, especially where symptoms such as pain or stiffness disrupt rest
Managing nausea or appetite changes, particularly when linked to long-term illness or treatment side effects.
Responses vary widely between individuals, and not all symptoms respond, which is why treatment is started low, adjusted gradually, and reviewed over time. Your clinician will only recommend it where it's clinically appropriate.
