Medical — LegalPost-Brexit Independent Regime

United Kingdom

Medical cannabis (CBMPs) has been legal in the UK since November 2018, prescribed by specialists on the GMC Specialist Register. The Home Office controls import licensing; MHRA regulates GMP and marketing authorizations. In practice, most access is via private prescribing — NHS funding remains tightly restricted.
