Releaf

UK's highest-rated medical cannabis clinic

About Releaf

Releaf has rapidly become the most well-known private medical cannabis clinic in the UK, built on a reputation for speed, transparency, and genuinely good patient outcomes. They have the highest volume of Trustpilot reviews of any UK clinic (over 4,500) and maintain a 4.7-star rating. What sets Releaf apart is their eligibility guarantee — if your initial consultation determines you are not suitable for medical cannabis, they refund your consultation fee in full. This removes the financial risk that puts many patients off applying. They offer both flower and oil prescriptions, with a formulary that includes popular strains from major producers. Their turnaround times are among the fastest in the industry, with many patients going from booking to receiving medication within a week. Releaf's patient support team is frequently praised for being responsive and helpful, particularly during the onboarding process. They operate on a standard private model with no specific access scheme for low-income patients.

Patients willing to pay a premium for speed and reliability
Anyone nervous about eligibility who wants the safety net of a refund guarantee
Patients who value responsive customer support during onboarding

How Consultations Work

Book online — choose a date and time. The initial consultation is a video call lasting 30-45 minutes. A specialist doctor will review your medical history, discuss your symptoms, and assess whether medical cannabis is appropriate. You will need your NHS number and a rough idea of your medical history. No prior cannabis knowledge or experience is needed.

Prescription & Medication

If approved, your prescription is issued within 24-48 hours and sent to Releaf's partner pharmacy. Medication is dispensed and shipped via DPD next-day delivery. Repeat prescriptions can be requested through the patient portal between follow-ups.

Pharmacy Options

Releaf uses a single partner pharmacy for dispensing. This simplifies the process but means you cannot shop around for the best price on individual products. Delivery is free and tracked via DPD.
