Cannabis on prescription in Hannover
Looking for a doctor for medical cannabis in Hannover? 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 Hannover just as in the rest of Niedersachsen.
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.
THC and CBD — what the difference means
THC and CBD are the two best-studied cannabinoids, but they act differently: THC is psychoactive and responsible for intoxication, CBD is not. Preparations differ considerably in the ratio between them, and that is one of the points the doctor decides on when selecting one. For patients in Hannover this means: choosing a preparation is not a matter of preference. Which ratio comes into question follows from the indication, prior experience and tolerance.
