Protect yourself with a medical prescription

If you're already using cannabis to help manage your symptoms, a medical prescription makes it legal.

A medical prescription also means regulated products, clinical oversight, and treatment tailored to your needs.

Experiencing medication fatigue? Taking sleeping pills or anti-anxiety medication?

What was once prescribed for short-term relief, some people now find themselves dependent on.

When warning signs of dependence arrive without alternatives, patients are left stuck between exhaustion and medication.

Sleep is now being approached differently, with some asking whether medical cannabis can play a role alongside clinical support.

Cannabis has long been stigmatised, with even minimal use often associated with cognitive decline, memory loss, and the stereotypical “stoner” persona.

However, a recent study by researchers at Oxford Population Health and the University of Oxford conducted both observational and genetic analyses and found no evidence that cannabis use contributes to cognitive decline in later life or increases the risk of dementia.

The study aimed to investigate the relationship between cannabis use, cognitive performance, and dementia risk in older adults, and is the first large population cohort study of its kind.

While the researchers emphasise the need for further studies with more detailed exposure assessments and longer follow-up periods, the findings offer valuable insight into the potential impact of cannabis use in ageing populations.

Cannabinoids are naturally occurring compounds found in the cannabis plant.

They interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system, a network involved in regulating functions such as pain, mood, sleep, appetite, and immune response.

Different cannabinoids, such as THC and CBD, have distinct properties and interact with the body in different ways. When used together, these cannabinoids may influence each other’s activity, highlighting why formulation and ratio are important in medical prescribing.

For many of us, cannabis was surrounded by stigma growing up. The “stoner” stereotype dominated the conversation, and education was often missing.

But times have changed.

Today, medical cannabis in the UK is prescribed by specialist doctors and used in carefully assessed cases to support patients living with chronic pain, anxiety disorders, treatment-resistant conditions, and symptoms such as nausea.

This isn’t about outdated stereotypes. It’s about evidence, regulation, and improving the quality of life.

March 13th is World Sleep Day

Insomnia is common. Solutions are not.

Insomnia affects over a third of adults in the UK, yet access to specialist sleep care can take over a year, and often its effectiveness can diminish over time.

This World Sleep Day, why not look into regulated, clinician-led alternatives, including medical cannabis?

When conventional treatments fall short, alternative medicines deserve thoughtful discussion rather than stigma.

Cannabinoids interact primarily with CB1 and CB2 receptors, as well as other signalling systems throughout the body.

CB1 and CB2 receptors are part of the body’s endocannabinoid system, a network that helps regulate balance.

CB1 receptors are mainly found in the brain and influence pain, mood, memory, appetite and sleep.

CB2 receptors are largely found in the immune system and play a role in inflammation and immune response.

Rather than “treating” one symptom in isolation, they influence regulatory pathways that help the body maintain balance. This is why response can vary between individuals, and why careful dosing, monitoring, and clinical oversight matter.

Women’s pain has long been dismissed and under-treated, from chronic pain and endometriosis to anxiety and menopause.

Conditions such as endometriosis take, on average, more than eight years from the first GP appointment to receive a diagnosis. With one in ten women and female-assigned people affected, far more must be done to raise awareness and improve care.

And this bias doesn’t only exist in GP surgeries. The Royal College of Nursing reports that just 2% of overall public research funding is dedicated to reproductive health and childbirth. Once again, more needs to be done, and more awareness needs to be raised to tackle these disparities.

At Wellford, we support by listening, understanding, and offering science-backed medical guidance, as medical cannabis can be used as a tool to manage symptoms.
