Starting medical cannabis treatment can be somewhat overwhelming, especially for new patients who have very little experience with cannabis-based treatment products.
And that's totally understandable.
It's not just the medication itself that can be foreign to new patients, but also how it is administered.
UK medical cannabis patients are often prescribed a dried medical cannabis flower option that is taken through a vaporiser. To make this new therapeutic journey as easy and stress-free as possible, we offer all Releaf + subscribers a handy Starter Kit in our Patient Portal shop.
This Starter Kit features everything a new patient needs to start medical cannabis treatment - a selection of premium medical cannabis accessories designed to boost the effectiveness of your treatments in the most convenient way possible.
In today's continuation of our 'New Patient' series, let's quickly run through the contents of the Starter Kit and explain how each item can enhance your treatment experience.
The Releaf Starter Kit is available to purchase in the Releaf Patient Portal online shop. The Starter Kit includes everything patients need to get started with a medical cannabis cultivar treatment plan, except for the medication itself.
Your prescription is delivered separately.
In The Releaf Starter Kit, you will find:
This state-of-the-art device is designed specifically for medical cannabis flower vaporisation and makes it easy for patients to take a precise, controlled dose every time. The Omura flower vaporiser uses heat-not-burn technology to deliver your medical cannabis more safely, while also maximising the therapeutic benefits of the CBD and THC (and terpenes) in your medication.
Designed to be used with the provided Omura vaporiser, these biodegradable sticks make dosing your medical cannabis as simple as possible. Unlike other vaporisers, there's no need for cleaning. Simply discard or reuse the stick when you're finished. Each Starter Kit includes 6 packs of 16 Releaf Flowersticks.
This innovative tool lets patients fill up to 16 Flowersticks at the same time without any waste or fuss. Just fill, pack, and go with ease and precision.
Made from premium anodized aluminium, this durable tool allows patients to quickly and easily grind their prescribed medical cannabis flower, which can then be packed into a Flowerstick ready for vaporisation.
Medical cannabis flower is an organic product and can be affected by environmental factors over time. To preserve its therapeutic properties, quality, and potency, it's recommended to store your prescribed medical cannabis in a cool, dark place. Our Releaf Cannabis Storage Jar is perfect for this.
The Releaf medical cannabis card is the UK's first cannabis card issued by a CQC-regulated clinic.
This card serves as proof that you possess a current medical cannabis prescription in the UK. It includes your name, address, photo, your doctor’s name, and their GMC number. Designed with police collaboration, the card is provided free with every Releaf subscription. Presenting this card to police officers or relevant authorities simplifies the process of proving your legal right to carry and take prescribed medical cannabis.
The Starter Kit also includes:
The Releaf Starter Kit box is fully recyclable and UK-made.
So, there you have it—a full rundown of what's included in your Releaf Starter Kit.
We hope this has answered any questions and given you a better understanding of how each piece of kit will help you start out on your medical cannabis journey with ease and confidence.

Much like all other treatment options in the UK, medical cannabis does come with costs.

Medical cannabis has become increasingly accessible and accepted in recent years. However, accessing cannabis-based products - even from legal sources - can have an impact on everyday life. From medicating in public or even the comfort of your own home to driving and employment, there are many things to consider when becoming a medical cannabis patient.
Emily Ledger
Even though medical cannabis has been a full legal treatment option here in the UK since 1 November 2018, there is still a level of stigma surrounding it. It is anything but a surprise that some patients are worried about how their decision to pursue a medical cannabis prescription may affect their relationship with their general practitioner (GP).
