Cannabis on prescription in Dresden
Looking for a doctor for medical cannabis in Dresden? You do not need an appointment at a local practice: you complete a medical history questionnaire digitally, and a doctor licensed in Germany then assesses your answers — for patients in Dresden just as in the rest of Sachsen.
Whether and how a treatment is medically appropriate is decided solely by the treating doctor, case by case. There is no entitlement to a particular therapy or to a prescription, and an online assessment does not replace a physical examination. The service is available to adults only.

Medical cannabis is not recreational cannabis
The partial legalisation of 2024 regulated private cultivation and possession of limited quantities by adults. Medical cannabis has little to do with that legally or practically: it is a prescription-only medicine, subject to pharmaceutical quality requirements, dispensed through pharmacies, and requires a medical indication. For patients in Dresden the distinction matters in practice — for questions of quantity, carrying it with you, and road traffic, where different standards apply to medicines than to recreational use.
