We understand that travelling with your medical cannabis prescription may feel daunting.

While it has been legal in the UK since 2018, inconsistent messaging and enforcement, both at home and away, mean that uncertainty still remains.

To help you plan ahead and travel with confidence, the Cannabis Industry Council (CIC) has released updated guidance to help carry medication safely.

This advice includes:

* Ensure you have enough medication for your trip
* Organise any prescription paperwork, including hard copies of your prescription
* Request travel letters or certificates from your clinic (if they offer them)
* Keep all medication in its original pharmacy packaging.

A recent study followed 426 registered medical cannabis (MC) patients in Florida over 45 days to track daily changes in anxiety levels.

Researchers recorded daily details such as MC usage, other substances like alcohol, exercise habits, and anxiety history.

The biggest factor in any change in anxiety when comparing different groups was MC use.

94% of people found cannabis to reduce their anxiety.

It’s not new — it’s been around for roughly 5,000 years.

Although medical cannabis was recently legalised in the Western world again in 1996 (California, US), this natural treatment has a much deeper history.

Its ancient origins trace back to Emperor Shen Nung’s (the father of traditional Chinese medicine) *pharmacopeia, where it was documented as a treatment for gout, malaria, and rheumatism.

Around 1,000 years later, it was being used in Egypt for inflammation and pain. Another 500 years on, it appeared in Ayurvedic medicine, known as “bhang”.

In the 19th century, an Irish physician studying in India introduced cannabis to Western medicine, where it began to be used more widely for conditions such as muscle spasms and epilepsy.

However, as the 20th century unfolded, global attitudes shifted. The International O***m Convention marked the beginning of worldwide regulation and prohibition.

With the UK legalising it in 2018, the question now is, what comes next?

The United States government has reclassified cannabis as less dangerous, moving it from a Schedule I drug, like he**in, to Schedule III, alongside medicines such as codeine and paracetamol.

These classifications apply to cannabis-based products regulated by the Food and Drug Administration or approved under state medical cannabis licensing.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has also called for a hearing to consider reclassifying it more generally.

Last year, the current administration began the process of reclassifying cannabis to improve access and support research.

Although the plant remains illegal at the federal level, this change in drug policy may shift public attitudes and improve access for those who need it.
