Cannabis on prescription in Hamburg

Looking for a doctor for medical cannabis in Hamburg? 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 Hamburg just as in the rest of Hamburg.

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.

Partner pharmacies in Hamburg

6 pharmacies in Hamburg are part of the network. You choose the pharmacy yourself during the request — delivery is nationwide, regardless of location.

How does the medicine reach Hamburg?

Medicines are dispensed exclusively by a pharmacy — Medicanova does not ship anything itself. After a positive medical assessment, the prescription is transmitted to the partner pharmacy you selected. From there it is either shipped to your address in Hamburg or collected in person, where the pharmacy offers that. Delivery time depends on the pharmacy and the availability of the specific preparation, not on where you live: there is no reason a delivery to Hamburg should take longer than to any other city. You choose the pharmacy yourself during the request.

Can I choose my pharmacy freely?

Do I have to attend a practice in Hamburg?

Yes. Medical cannabis is fully legal in Germany with a doctor's prescription. Doctors have been able to prescribe it for therapeutic purposes since 2017. Since 1 April 2024, cannabis is also no longer classified as a narcotic under the German Narcotics Act (BtMG).Read more in the magazine →

You will usually hear back within a few hours. A medical assessment is often possible the same day.

No, an in-person appointment is not required. You can choose either the written questionnaire (entirely online, no appointment) or a scheduled video consultation with a doctor.Read more in the magazine →

If the doctor declines your request, you incur no costs. The €14.99 fee is refunded to you in full.

You complete our medical questionnaire (approx. 5–10 min) or book a video consultation. A doctor reviews your case promptly. If you are eligible, you receive a private prescription, which we send directly to the pharmacy of your choice — most pharmacies then deliver to your home.

We charge a one-off fee of €14.99 including VAT per consultation request. If no telemedical consultation takes place, the fee is refunded.Read more in the magazine →

Because this is a private prescription, the platform fee is not covered by statutory health insurance.Read more in the magazine →

We accept credit card, SEPA direct debit, Google Pay, Apple Pay and bank transfer. All transactions are TLS-encrypted.

Your data is protected by 256-bit TLS encryption, processed on servers in Germany and handled in accordance with the GDPR.

Every medical assessment is based on a confirmed diagnosis and information about previous treatments. Have doctor's letters or findings, your current medication and the therapies you have tried with their outcome at hand, and summarise them in the questionnaire. Incomplete information is one of the most common reasons for a rejection.Read more in the magazine →

In the questionnaire you choose a pharmacy from the partner network of more than 350 pharmacies across Germany. Most ship nationwide, many offer courier delivery or pickup. After a positive assessment the prescription is transmitted electronically to exactly this pharmacy; it cannot be changed afterwards. Choose your pharmacy carefully before submitting.Read more in the magazine →

You pay for the medication directly to the pharmacy, not to Medicanova. The price depends on the product, the quantity and the pharmacy and varies considerably between pharmacies, because cannabis flowers have no fixed price. You see the current prices during the request when choosing pharmacy and product. Shipping costs set by the pharmacy may apply.Read more in the magazine →

Anyone taking a prescribed medicine as directed is not subject to the THC limit of section 24a of the German Road Traffic Act. Driving while noticeably impaired remains a criminal offence, and the licensing authority may review your fitness to drive. Separate intake and driving in time, carry proof of your prescription and do not drive during the titration phase.Read more in the magazine →

If you have already been treated, you start the follow-up request via the entry for existing patients and receive a shortened questionnaire. The fee applies to each request. Whether and in what quantity a follow-up prescription is issued is decided by the doctor based on your progress. In total, no more than 100 grams of flowers or millilitres of extract are possible within 30 days.Read more in the magazine →

Common side effects are tiredness, dizziness, dry mouth, palpitations, difficulty concentrating and, at higher doses, anxiety. There is a potential for dependence, and interactions with other medicines are possible. Treatment is not an option for people with a personal or family history of psychosis, severe cardiovascular disease, during pregnancy and breastfeeding, or for minors. The doctor checks these points before every prescription.Read more in the magazine →

An independent doctor licensed in Germany. Medicanova organises the request and the transmission but makes no medical decision and issues no prescriptions. The treatment contract is concluded with the doctor. There is no entitlement to a prescription; rejections are part of a careful assessment.Read more in the magazine →

Adults resident in Germany. Minors are not treated. The prerequisite is a condition for which the doctor considers treatment with medical cannabis justifiable in the individual case, usually after documented attempts with other treatments. The wish for cannabis alone is not an indication.

The product preference in the questionnaire is a wish, not an entitlement; the doctor decides whether and what is prescribed. If the prescribed product is not available at the chosen pharmacy, the pharmacy clarifies with you and, if necessary, with the doctor whether an equivalent product is an option. Availability and prices change daily.
