In the UK, medical cannabis refers to products prescribed by a specialist doctor under strict conditions. These may contain THC above normal consumer limits. Standard THC vape pens sold legally without prescription do not fall under this category, as they contain less than 1 mg THC per container.
Why vape pens differ from medical products
Medical cannabis is classed as a cannabis-based product for medicinal use in humans (CBPM). It requires regulation, clinical oversight, and prescription. Legal consumer vapes, by contrast, are non-intoxicating wellness products made to stay compliant. They are not prescribed and should not be presented as medical cannabis.
