Frequently Asked Questions

Can doctors prescribe medical cannabis for anxiety in the UK? +
Yes. Specialist doctors can prescribe medical cannabis for anxiety disorders in the UK. CBD-dominant products are often preferred as they reduce the psychoactive effects that can worsen anxiety in some patients.
Will medical cannabis make my anxiety worse? +
High-THC cannabis can worsen anxiety in some patients. This is why specialist doctors typically prescribe CBD-dominant or balanced THC:CBD products for anxiety. Start with low doses and increase gradually under medical supervision.
How do I find a clinic specialising in cannabis for anxiety? +
Several UK clinics specialise in anxiety treatment including Mamedica, Sapphire Medical and Releaf. Compare all clinics on LeafMe to find the best fit for your needs and budget.
How much does cannabis treatment for anxiety cost? +
Initial consultations cost £100–£200. Monthly ongoing costs are typically £100–£350 depending on the product. CBD oils are generally cheaper than flower products.
Is CBD oil the same as prescribed medical cannabis for anxiety? +
No. Over-the-counter CBD oil is a food supplement with no guaranteed potency. Prescribed medical cannabis is a pharmaceutical-grade product with consistent concentrations, prescribed by a GMC-registered specialist.
