About LeafMe

LeafMe is the UK's dedicated medical cannabis price comparison platform. We aggregate and display prices from licensed UK clinics, allowing patients to compare costs across flower, oils and extracts before committing to a prescription pathway. Our platform covers products across the full spectrum of the UK's legal medical cannabis market.

We are completely independent. LeafMe receives no commercial payments from any clinic, manufacturer or pharmacy for placement or ranking. Our rankings are alphabetical by default. We exist solely to give UK patients transparent, up-to-date pricing information — a tool that was missing from the market when we launched.

Key Facts About UK Medical Cannabis

Background information for journalists covering the UK medical cannabis sector:

• Legal since November 2018. Medical cannabis was rescheduled under the Misuse of Drugs Regulations 2001, allowing specialist doctors to prescribe cannabis-based medicines. However, NHS prescribing remains extremely limited in practice.
• Growing private patient base. Industry estimates suggest over 150,000 patients now hold active private medical cannabis prescriptions in the UK, with numbers growing year-on-year as awareness increases and prices fall.
• NHS vs private divide. Fewer than 10 NHS prescriptions for medical cannabis are issued per year for most conditions. The overwhelming majority of UK patients pay out of pocket, with monthly costs typically ranging from £100 to £400+.
• Significant price variation. For identical products, prices can vary by 30–40% between licensed clinics. This variation is poorly understood by patients, which is the core problem LeafMe was built to address.
• Regulated supply chain. All products listed on LeafMe are licensed medicinal cannabis products prescribed through MHRA-authorised routes. They are not street cannabis. Clinicians must be GMC-registered specialists to prescribe.
