Mental health
7 conditionsAnxiety
Many anxiety patients use CBMPs for calm without alcohol or benzodiazepine escalation. The goal is usually steady relief — not a strong cerebral rush.
Often look for: Indica-leaning or balanced hybrids with a calm, body-led feel
4 matches
1 patient review
ADHD
ADHD patients often chase focus and mental clarity without heavy sedation. What works is highly individual — overstimulation and under-stimulation both get reported.
Often look for: Sativa-leaning or alert hybrids for daytime function
2 matches
1 caution
Depression
Depression prescribing aims at mood lift, motivation, or evening relief depending on the patient. Sedation vs activation is the main fork.
Often look for: Uplifting hybrids with gentle euphoria in positive reviews
3 matches
PTSD
PTSD patients often prioritise calm, sleep, and reduced hypervigilance. Predictability matters — surprises from unpredictable racy strains get reported often.
Often look for: Calming indicas or indica-leaning hybrids
3 matches
Stress
Stress prescribing sits between anxiety and general wellbeing — patients want to unwind without being wiped out for the next day.
Often look for: Balanced hybrids — relaxed but functional
3 matches
OCD
OCD patients often overlap with anxiety — calming, predictable effects are usually preferred over intense cerebral stimulation.
Often look for: Calming indicas or balanced hybrids
1 match
Autism
Autistic patients report using CBMPs for sensory overload, anxiety, sleep, and meltdown recovery. Low-stimulation, predictable strains are commonly preferred.
Often look for: Gentle hybrids — not overwhelming nose or rush
3 matches
35 caution
Pain
6 conditionsChronic Pain
Chronic pain is the backbone of UK medical cannabis prescribing — patients look for body relaxation, analgesia, and function, often with daily repeat dosing.
Often look for: Indica or indica-leaning hybrids with body-led effects

125 patient reviews
1 caution
Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia combines widespread pain, fatigue, and sleep disruption — patients often need pain relief without next-day groggles.
Often look for: Body-relaxing indicas or balanced hybrids
3 matches
Arthritis
Arthritis patients usually want anti-inflammatory calm, joint comfort, and mobility — often evening dosing for stiffness.
Often look for: Caryophyllene-forward profiles (beta-caryophyllene interest)
3 matches
Endometriosis
Endometriosis and pelvic pain patients often need cramping relief, mood support, and sometimes nausea control during flares.
Often look for: Indica-leaning body relaxation for cramping
3 matches
Migraine
Migraine patients are split — some find relief, others report triggers from strong smells or THC spikes. Consistency and low-and-slow matter.
Often look for: CBD-balanced or moderate THC options
40 matches
41 patient reviews
2 caution
Muscle Tension
Muscle tension spans neck, jaw, and stress-related tightness — body relaxation and anti-spasm feel are what patients describe.
Often look for: Indica body effects
90 matches
Neurological
4 conditionsMS / Spasticity
MS patients use CBMPs for spasticity, muscle stiffness, pain, and bladder symptoms — muscle relaxation without losing all function is the balance.
Often look for: Muscle-relaxing indicas
3 matches
Epilepsy
Epilepsy prescribing is clinician-led and often CBD-forward. THC sensitivity varies — community strain talk is less reliable here than pharmacy guidance.
Often look for: CBD-balanced profiles when whole-plant is prescribed
3 matches
Parkinson's
Parkinson's patients report interest in tremor, rigidity, sleep, and dyskinesia — effects vary widely and timing with levodopa matters.
Often look for: Calm hybrids with muscle relaxation
3 matches
Tourette's
Tourette's patients often want tic reduction without mental fog — calming strains and ADHD overlap make classification tricky.
Often look for: Calming hybrids that reduce tic frequency in patient reports
3 matches
Digestive
4 conditionsCrohn's / IBD
Crohn's and IBD patients look for gut calm, appetite support during flares, and pain relief — anti-inflammatory interest is high.
Often look for: Calming indicas during flare pain
3 matches
IBS
IBS patients want gut calm and anxiety reduction — the gut-brain axis means stimulating strains can backfire.
Often look for: Gentle hybrids — calm without heavy stimulation
3 matches
Nausea
Nausea — especially chemo-related — needs gentle profiles. Too much stimulation or harsh vapor can worsen symptoms.
Often look for: CBD-inclusive or moderate THC when prescribed
39 matches
39 patient reviews
2 caution
Appetite Loss
Appetite loss and cachexia patients often need THC-forward stimulation of hunger — opposite goals to nausea-only profiles.
Often look for: THC-forward strains with ‘munchies’ in reviews

Often look for: Pain-relief indicas
3 matches
Palliative Care
