Welcome to Tyneside Cannabis Club, a community supporting and connecting people interested in Medical Cannabis across the North East of England.
Our aim is to provide a welcoming, supportive and educational community focused on Medical Cannabis, harm reduction, responsible use and wellbeing.
Since 1st November 2018, Medical Cannabis has been legally available in the UK when prescribed by a specialist doctor registered with the General Medical Council (GMC).
Medical Cannabis can be considered when traditional treatments have not provided effective relief from symptoms or have caused unwanted side effects.
Below is a list of conditions that may be considered for Medical Cannabis treatment.
Eligibility is assessed individually by a specialist clinician. Generally, you may be considered if you:
Previous treatments may include prescribed medication, talking therapies, physiotherapy, surgery or other treatments recommended by your healthcare professional.
Meeting these criteria does not guarantee a prescription. A specialist clinician will make the final decision based on your individual circumstances and medical history.
We provide guidance and support to individuals who may require a prescription but feel unsure, vulnerable or uncertain about navigating the process.
Please note: We promote only the legal and responsible use of Medical Cannabis and do not support illegal drug use, supply or distribution.
