Four questions every country answers differently
Is this for me at all
What may be prescribed differs by country: flowers in Germany, dronabinol in Austria, unlicensed specials in the UK. The self-check asks where you are first.
How to get a prescription
Any doctor in Germany and Switzerland; listed specialties and, since 2025, GPs in Czechia; a specialist in the UK; any doctor on an Rpw prescription in Poland; a hospital in Spain and France. Who may prescribe decides whether there is anything to search for โ and which directory.
What it costs
Statutory cover in Germany for extracts, 90 % in Czechia, free but hospital-only in Luxembourg, case by case in Austria and Switzerland, private only in the UK and Poland. Each country page holds the rule and its source.
