Private Medical Cannabis Service

Suppose you are struggling with chronic pain, neurological disorders, or mental health conditions and are exploring alternative treatments. In that case, our medical cannabis service in Southall and Hillingdon may be an option for you.
What is the Private Medical Cannabis Service?
Medical cannabis is a treatment option for patients who have exhausted conventional therapies for specific conditions. It contains active compounds called cannabinoids, such as CBD (cannabidiol) and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), which can provide relief from pain, inflammation, seizures, and other symptoms.
At Puri Pharmacy, in partnership with Curaleaf Clinic, we offer consultations, prescriptions, and dispensing of legal, regulated medical cannabis in compliance with UK regulations.
Who Can Benefit from Medical Cannabis?
Medical cannabis may be prescribed to patients suffering from a variety of conditions, including but not limited to:
- Chronic Pain (e.g., fibromyalgia, arthritis, migraines)
- Neurological Disorders (e.g., epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease)
- Mental Health Conditions (e.g., anxiety, PTSD, depression)
- Cancer-related Symptoms (e.g., chemotherapy-induced nausea, pain)
- Inflammatory Conditions (e.g., Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis)
If you have tried conventional medications without success, you may be eligible for a medical cannabis prescription.

Yes, medical cannabis is legal when prescribed to eligible patients by a specialist doctor on the GMC register. Prior to 1st November 2018 medical cannabis was categorised by the Home Office as a schedule 1 drug. Based on the evidence to support its use as a medicine by the Chief Medical Officer it was reclassified to permit its prescribing as a controlled drug. This means that medical cannabis is legal when prescribed by specialist doctors on the GMC register within the area of their expertise, and when agreed upon by a multidisciplinary team adhering to all existing protocols for controlled drugs. Sapphire Medical Clinics adhere to all these criteria.
