Legal & Medical
Is medical cannabis legal in the UK?
Yes. Medical cannabis has been legal in the UK since 2018 for specific medical conditions. At Nettle, all prescriptions are issued by UK-licensed doctors and dispensed through regulated pharmacies.
Do I need a referral from my GP?
No referral needed. You can start the process directly with us. However, you’re welcome to share your treatment journey with your GP if you choose to.
Is this a private service or covered by the NHS?
Nettle is a private clinic. Medical cannabis prescriptions are rarely issued on the NHS. Nettle provides private access with transparent pricing, regulated care, and fast support.
Will I speak to a real doctor?
Yes, always. Every consultation is carried out by a UK-registered medical professional. There are no AI-driven decisions—only qualified clinical judgement.
Conditions & Eligibility
What conditions do you treat?
We commonly treat:
• Chronic pain (e.g. back pain, arthritis, migraines)
• Anxiety & generalised anxiety disorder
• Insomnia & sleep disorders
• ADHD and attention-related concerns
• PTSD
Eligibility is assessed on a case-by-case basis.
How do I know if I’m eligible?
Quick online assessment. You’ll complete a short eligibility form. If you’re likely to benefit, you’ll be invited to book a consultation.
What if I’ve never used cannabis before?
That’s completely fine. Many of our patients are first-time users. Our clinicians will guide you through your options and ensure everything is tailored to your experience and comfort level.
Process & Delivery
How does the consultation work?
Secure, video-based consultation. You’ll meet your clinician via video call at a time that suits you. They’ll review your history and determine if treatment is suitable.
How long does it take to receive my prescription?
Usually 2–3 working days. After your consultation and approval, your medication is dispensed and delivered in discreet packaging.
Will I need to collect anything in person?
No. Everything is handled digitally—from consultation to prescription to delivery. You don’t need to leave your home.
What if my prescription needs changing?
We offer follow-up support. If your symptoms change or you need adjustments, you can book follow-up consultations with your clinician easily.
Products & Pricing
What types of cannabis products do you offer?
A range of options. We offer oils, capsules, and flower (for vaporisation)—all carefully prescribed based on your condition and medical needs.
How much does it cost?
Transparent pricing. You’ll pay for your initial consultation and any prescribed medication. Prices vary depending on your treatment, but average UK patients spend around £3,000 per year on medical cannabis.
Do you offer bundles or subscriptions?
Yes. You can order as needed or choose from discounted repeat bundles. There are no lock-in contracts—you’re always in control.
Can I cancel or pause my treatment?
Absolutely. You can stop or pause your treatment at any time. Just speak to our care team.
Safety & Privacy
Is my data kept private?
100%. Your information is stored securely and never shared without your consent. We are fully GDPR compliant.
Will the packaging show what’s inside?
No. All deliveries are made in plain, discreet packaging with no mention of cannabis or medication.
Can I drive or work while using medical cannabis?
It depends. Driving while impaired is illegal. Your clinician will explain the legal guidelines based on your prescribed product and usage. Many patients are prescribed products that do not affect driving.
Can I travel with my prescription?
Check regulations. Travelling with medical cannabis can be complex. We recommend contacting us before travelling and checking the laws in your destination country.
