Check your eligibilityWhy Liverpool is exploring medical cannabis
Liverpool holds a notable place in British pain medicine. The University of Liverpool's Pain Research Institute is dedicated to understanding chronic pain - pain lasting more than 12 weeks - and the conditions that often accompany it, such as fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis. Across the UK, around 34% of adults report some form of chronic pain, a figure that rises steeply with age.
The city's own public health data shows why this matters locally. The State of Health in the City report projects that without action, the number of residents living with depression could more than double by 2040, and the overall number of long-term health conditions across the city could rise by more than half. Persistent pain and low mood frequently overlap, each making the other harder to manage.
It's in this context that interest in medical cannabis in Liverpool has grown. Cannabis-based products for medicinal use (CBPMs) are specialist-prescribed medicines made from the cannabis plant, legal on prescription across the UK since November 2018. They are not a cure and won't suit everyone, but for some patients they're prescribed as one part of a wider plan when other treatments haven't done enough. For the legal background, see our guide: is cannabis legal in the UK?

How to Get Medical Cannabis in Liverpool
Medical cannabis isn't bought over a counter - it's prescribed after assessment. UK law permits only clinicians on the General Medical Council's Specialist Register to prescribe CBPMs, and only where other treatments haven't met a clinical need. A registered pharmacy then dispenses and delivers your medicine. With Medicann, getting there takes four steps:

Conditions we Support
Whether medical cannabis is suitable for you is never a tick-box decision: a clinician weighs your full history, including treatments you've already tried, and it can often be prescribed alongside your current medicines. Conditions we may be able to support include:
The Benefits of Medical Cannabis
Medical cannabis is not a cure and isn't right for everyone. It's used to help bring difficult, long-running symptoms under better control where other treatments have stopped short. For the patients it suits, it may:
Take the edge off ongoing pain that hasn't responded well to standard treatment
Loosen muscle tightness or spasms, helping with movement and comfort
Settle disrupted sleep, particularly where pain or stiffness keeps people awake
Calm nausea or restore appetite affected by long-term illness.
As everyone responds differently, treatment begins on a low dose and is built up slowly, and not every symptom shifts which is why suitability is assessed on a case-by-case basis.
Trusted Medical Cannabis Clinic
Medicann has been caring for medical cannabis patients since 2019, and our work has been recognised with a string of awards in that time. We prescribe in line with Cannabis Industry Council (CIC) guidance and the standards expected of UK medical cannabis clinics, and every prescription is the considered decision of an experienced specialist doctor.
