Cannabis on prescription in Nürnberg

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

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.

Shop-bought CBD oil or a prescription?

Freely available CBD products and prescription-only cannabis-based medicines are not the same thing. Commercial CBD oil is not authorised as a medicine, its content can vary, and no therapeutic effect may be advertised for it. A prescribed medicine, by contrast, is subject to pharmaceutical quality requirements and comes with medical supervision. For patients in Nürnberg who already use shop-bought CBD, this is relevant information for the questionnaire — not because it is a problem, but because it is part of your history.
