About this site

MCPH stands for Medical Cannabis Patients Hub. The site exists to help people in the UK understand medical cannabis without having to work through hype, sales claims, or confusing legal language.

Who this site is for

MCPH is written for:

• patients exploring whether medical cannabis may be relevant to their situation
• carers supporting someone through treatment decisions
• family members trying to understand the UK system
• clinicians, advocates, and researchers who want plain-English patient context

The site is not a clinic, pharmacy, prescribing service, or emergency support service.

What MCPH does

MCPH publishes patient-facing information about:

• UK access routes and prescribing pathways
• medical cannabis costs and practical questions
• safety, side effects, interactions, and driving
• conditions and symptoms where patients commonly ask about cannabis
• cannabinoids, terpenes, strain names, and product language
• editorial standards, disclaimers, privacy, and site governance

The aim is to make the medical cannabis journey easier to understand, not to tell anyone what treatment to use.

How to read MCPH

Use MCPH as a starting point for better questions. If a page touches your health, medicines, driving, mental health, pregnancy, children, or legal position, speak to a qualified clinician or relevant professional before acting on it.

MCPH tries to separate evidence, official guidance, patient experience, and uncertainty. Where the evidence is limited, the site should say so plainly.
