About Medicann

Medicann is the only UK clinic that charges absolutely nothing for initial consultations. This makes them the most accessible option for patients who want to explore medical cannabis without any financial commitment. Beyond the free initial consultation, Medicann offers a pay-as-you-go model for medication. Instead of a fixed monthly prescription cost, you order medication on demand within your prescription limits. This is ideal for patients whose usage varies month to month. They have a solid 4.4-star rating on Trustpilot from over 600 reviews. As a smaller clinic, they have fewer reviews than the market leaders, but feedback is consistently positive. The main drawbacks are that as a smaller clinic, they have less established infrastructure — some patients report friction in the onboarding process. They also have a smaller formulary than larger clinics like Releaf or Mamedica.

The cheapest route into medical cannabis is normally a free or low-cost initial consultation — clinics like Alternaleaf (from £49–£99) and Wellford Clinics (from £5) lead on affordability. Medicann's £0 initial consultation sits at the budget end of the market — worth weighing alongside the clinic's 4.4★ rating and the fact that medication itself costs roughly the same everywhere.
