How access works here
A — open prescription market with a narcotic-prescription gate. Any physician may prescribe cannabis flower or extract as a pharmaceutical raw material for a pharmacy-compounded medicine on an 'Rpw' e-prescription; there is no public reimbursement and a large private/telemedicine layer.
Legal basis is art. 33a of the ustawa o przeciwdziałaniu narkomanii (Act on Counteracting Drug Addiction), which admits cannabis herb/extracts/tinctures as 'surowiec farmaceutyczny' (pharmaceutical raw material) for compounded medicines after registration by the URPL — the ISAP legal text could not be opened this session (robots block), so the article is cited from knowledge, not from an opened page. The Ministry of Health prescription page (updated 07.01.2025) states the operative gate: a medicine containing środki odurzające or substancje psychotropowe (category Rpw) 'może zostać wystawiona tylko w postaci elektronicznej i tylko w ilości odpowiadającej maksymalnie 90 dniom stosowania'; such prescriptions are valid 30 days from issue with no deferred start, and only physicians (not nurses, pharmacists or feldshers) may prescribe them. Cannabis preparations are not on the reimbursement list; patients pay the full price of the compounded medicine.
