Clinic FAQs
Releaf is the fastest-growing and most trusted private medical cannabis clinic in the UK (according to both the reviews here at CAC and Trustpilot).
Since opening in February of 2024, Releaf has positioned itself as a leader in providing online consultations, prescriptions, and treatment plans for eligible UK-based patients seeking cannabis-based treatment options.
Yes, Releaf is a fully compliant and regulated medical cannabis healthcare provider. Every prescribing specialist is registered with the General Medical Council (GMC) and follows strict guidelines set by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
Releaf has been praised in recent months for its marketing efforts – while strain or cultivar names are required on packaging, they are not the centrepiece of Releaf’s product branding. Rather than using strain names as a primary selling point, Releaf focuses on delivering medical clarity and professionalism.
This commitment is reflected across their packaging, marketing, and patient communications.
The Releaf card is a unique medical cannabis card provided to patients of Releaf UK cannabis clinic. It displays a QR code that digitally holds all prescription details, designed to be carried by patients at all times. If questioned by police, the QR code allows for quick validation (with 2-factor authentication) of the patient’s legal authorization to carry medical cannabis.
This card aims to provide peace of mind and confidence to patients, enabling them to carry their medication legally.
To book your initial consultation with Releaf, you must first head to their medical cannabis eligibility checker. This tool takes less than 30 seconds to complete and will determine if you are a legal candidate for medical cannabis treatment. Once completed, if eligible, you will be prompted to create a free Releaf account, consent to Releaf accessing your medical records, and then book your consultation.
Appointments are conducted via video call and typically last around 30 minutes.
To be classed as potentially eligible for medical cannabis prescription with Releaf, patients must have tried at least two conventional treatments for their condition and have not seen any substantial improvement.
Releaf can help treat a wide range of conditions, including chronic pain, neurological disorders, gastrointestinal conditions, women’s health concerns, sleep disorders, as a supportive therapy option for cancer patients, and mental health issues such as anxiety and depression.
After your initial consultation with a prescribing specialist, your treatment plan and the list of prescribed products will be considered by a Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) of Releaf healthcare workers.
This MDT approval process is a crucial step, ensuring that patients receive the most appropriate treatment for their specific condition. Once approved, your prescribed products will be available for purchase through your Releaf account. Once payment is made, the prescription will be sent to the pharmacy and then dispatched for tracked delivery.
Treatment costs at Releaf vary based on consultation fees, prescriptions, and follow-up appointments. Releaf offers a monthly subscription (Releaf+) that covers all consultation and administration fees and provides discounts on prescriptions.
In 2024, Releaf announced two exciting partnerships with Glass Pharms and SOMAI Pharmaceuticals:
- Glass Pharms holds the first UK Home Office commercial cultivation licence to supply high-THC medical cannabis to the UK medical cannabis market. Releaf and Glass Pharms have a secure supply agreement in place, ensuring that Releaf patients receive the highest quality medical cannabis products.
- SOMAI Pharmaceuticals (an EU GMP-certified manufacturer) specialises in producing high-quality cannabis oils, capsules, and extracts for regulated medical markets. In late 2024, Releaf announced a strategic partnership with SOMAI to offer medical cannabis oil solutions to its patients. SOMAI’s extensive product portfolio features over 100 carefully crafted extracts, each with precise THC:CBD ratios tailored to address specific medical conditions.
- Releaf also sources cannabis-based treatment options from international medical cannabis suppliers, ensuring that patients have access to a wide variety of products and potential treatment options.
That is dependent on a few key factors (like whether you are eligible for treatment, whether your treatment and prescription plan pass the MDT review, etc.), but most patients receive their first medical cannabis delivery within 2 to 4 days of completing their initial consultation.

User Reviews
I wasn’t eligible for medical cannabis, but that wasn’t an issue thanks to the money-back guarantee. Dr Imran Ali was very good at explaining the pros and potential risks for someone in my situation. He didn’t just shove a product in my face or try to give me something I don’t necessarily need, which I really appreciated.
I’m 21 years old and suffer from severe mental health issues. Dr Ali took the time to explain that because of my age, my brain isn’t fully developed until around 25. He suggested that I try other natural alternatives before I even begin to consider medical cannabis at a later age
I only used it breifly but it worked great
Dr Ali went out of his way to link me to videos and articles on supplements that can help with different mental health disorders, like magnesium, and also somatic techniques for trauma. Really amazing service. Most psychiatrists I have seen in the past just shove pills in your face, but Dr Ali didn’t do that with Releaf as a product. Because of my age, I’m also aware that there is a potential risk of being more prone to developing psychosis with marijuana, as high THC can cause that in some cases for younger people. I
If you aren’t eligible for medical cannabis through Releaf like I was, you get your consultation refunded. I would have been annoyed if my £99 was just wasted on something I couldn’t even access without knowing so beforehand
As a healthcare professional with many years of experience, I was impressed by the standard of care at Releaf. My initial assessment with Kim set a very high bar. She explained everything clearly, answered all of my questions, and made the process feel comfortable and reassuring. It was a joy to be part of such a professional consultation.
From the very beginning, I have felt supported and well looked after. The Releaf team have been organised and attentive, which has made the whole experience better than many I’ve had with the NHS
The patient portal has been set up fantastically. It is simple to navigate, intuitive, and completely glitch free.
Every interaction so far has been clear and straightforward. Kim’s communication during my consultation was excellent
I appreciate that the pricing is clear from the outset. I’ve joined the Releaf+ scheme, which feels like good value given the benefits it provides. The ability to have extra consultations whenever I like/need with no extra charge is pretty amazing given the team of specialists they give me access to.
The only delay I encountered was outside of Releaf’s control, as my general practitioner was slow in releasing records. Once that was resolved, everything progressed smoothly.
I havent felt the need to have a follow up yet, but I do have booked in for next month so I will come back and leave another review once that as been completed
One of the main reasons why I chose releaf over any of the other larger clinics was prompted by their level of digital security.
From start to finish the doctor was brilliant, made me feel right at ease and actually listened to what I was saying. Felt like they really understood my problem and are dedicated to helping me get a better quality of life. Gave me some simple exercises for my back which NHS has never bothered with.
The support from the team has been spot on, polite and helpful. Never felt rushed
Signing up was easy, the portal was straightforward and I didn’t have any trouble booking my appointment.
I got clear info at every stage, no confusion or mixed messages. When I had a question about my follow up they replied quickly
Prices were clear from the start
I didnt have to wait long for my first consult, and my follow up is already booked in 4 weeks with the same doctor
I like that I can see the same doctor again, will update once follow up is done
Felt comfortable sharing personal details, nothing felt intrusive.
