You need to send us the hard copy of your medical cannabis prescription to get your medication. This is due to the laws and regulations in the UK around medical cannabis prescriptions, because it is a schedule 2 controlled drug. Some specialist prescriber clinics will send the hard copy of your medical cannabis prescription directly to your chosen pharmacy, such as Curaleaf Pharmacy. If you want to keep the hard copy of your medical cannabis prescription, it’s important to remember that you can only use it to get your medication within 28 days of the date on it. After 28 days, the hard copy of your prescription will expire and you will need to get a new prescription from your specialist prescriber to get your medication. You can keep a copy of your medical cannabis prescription with you, for example an email copy, photocopy or a photo. It can be helpful for you to keep a copy of your medical cannabis prescription that has: Your name and address at the time The name of your doctor that is a specialist prescriber The address of the clinic where your specialist prescriber practices The date that the prescription was written The details of your medication, such as the strength and amount you were prescribed
