Medical cannabis is becoming an increasingly popular treatment option in the UK for people living with chronic conditions such as pain, anxiety, PTSD, and more. But with so much confusion still surrounding access, many people are left wondering: how do I actually sign up for a medical cannabis prescription?
At Big Narstie Medical, we’re here to make the process simple, clear, and stress-free. Whether you’ve been exploring other treatments with no success, or you’re just curious about medical cannabis, this guide will walk you through what you need to know.
Step 1: Check If You're Eligible
The first step is to understand whether you're likely to be eligible for a medical cannabis prescription. In the UK, private providers (like Big Narstie Medical) can prescribe medical cannabis for a wide range of conditions, particularly when other treatments haven’t worked. Some of the most common conditions include:
-
Chronic pain
-
Anxiety and depression
-
PTSD
-
Insomnia or sleep disorders
-
Neurological conditions like MS or epilepsy
-
Fibromyalgia
-
Arthritis
-
ADHD
Even if your condition isn’t listed, you may still qualify — eligibility is based on your personal medical history, not just the name of your diagnosis.
Step 2: Book an Online Consultation
Once you think you might be eligible, the next step is booking an online consultation with one of our specialist doctors. At Big Narstie Medical, we’ve made it easy to get started from the comfort of your home.
Here’s how it works:
-
Visit our website: bignarstiemedical.com
-
Click ‘Start My Journey’ or head to the sign-up section.
-
Complete a short form about your medical history and symptoms.
-
Book your consultation – usually available within a few days.
During the consultation, our GMC-registered doctors will talk through your condition, current medications, and whether medical cannabis could be a safe and effective treatment for you.
Step 3: Receive Your Prescription
If you’re approved, your doctor will write a prescription tailored to your needs — whether that's THC, CBD, or a balanced combination. This will then be sent to our partner pharmacy for dispatch.
You don’t need to worry about going to a high street chemist — your medication will be delivered discreetly to your door.
Step 4: Ongoing Support
Our care doesn’t stop once you receive your first prescription. We offer:
-
Regular follow-ups to review your progress
-
Dose adjustments if needed
