Information, not advice

The Plain Line provides general information about medical cannabis in the UK. It is not medical advice, and it is not legal advice. Reading it does not create a doctor-patient or adviser-client relationship. For anything specific to your health or your legal position, speak to a qualified specialist clinician or a qualified legal adviser.

We are independent

We are not a clinic. We do not prescribe, diagnose, supply, or sell cannabis or any product, and we do not rank, recommend, or take payment for directing you to clinics. Where we describe how treatment, costs, or the law work, we are explaining the system, not steering you towards any provider.

Accuracy and change

The law, official guidance, and prices change, sometimes quickly. We check our information against primary sources and date every guide, but we cannot guarantee everything is complete or current at the moment you read it. Always confirm anything important against the original source, or with a professional, before you act on it.

No claims about whether it works

We explain the law, the process, the costs, and your rights. We do not make claims about whether medical cannabis will help any condition. Whether a treatment suits you is a matter for a specialist.

Links to other sites

We link to other websites, such as government pages and official guidance, for your convenience, and we are not responsible for the content of external sites. Some links are affiliate links to non-clinic products, which we label. If you buy through one, we earn a small commission at no extra cost to you, and it never affects what we recommend.

In an emergency

If you need urgent medical help, contact your doctor or the emergency services. Do not rely on this website in an emergency.

How we are funded

We explain how The Plain Line makes money, and how we keep our information independent of it, on our How we make money page.
