Medical โ€” LegalEU Member ยท Access Barriers Remain

Poland

Medical cannabis has been legal in Poland since 2017 under the Pharmaceutical Law. URPL manages import authorizations; GIF issues narcotic licenses. Despite legal status, practical access remains challenging โ€” poor reimbursement, limited prescriber awareness, and pharmacy stock issues. EU-GMP Part I mandatory. Poland is the EU's fifth largest country by population (~38 million) with significant long-term market potential as barriers reduce.
