WHAT IS CANCARD™?
CancardTM provides validation to the police, or any third party, that its holder is consuming cannabis for medical reasons.
CancardTM is recognised by the police as medical identification and is a tool to help officers to use discretion with patients on the basis that an individual is consuming cannabis to alleviate symptoms of a verified medical condition.
Times are changing: 1.8 million people with life-limiting health conditions in the UK are utilising the properties of cannabis
to alleviate their symptoms.
Private clinics are prescribing cannabis-based medical products including cannabis flower and oil-based extracts and under these circumstances, cannabis is legal. Those who cannot afford a private prescription can apply for a medical ID CancardTM, designed in collaboration with the National Police Chief’s Council.
Often, patients are discriminated against due to their medical use of cannabis. Disabled people and those with life-limiting health conditions deserve to be able to enjoy brand facilities without discrimination.
There is currently no way to identify people who legitimately consume cannabis medicinally before emotional distress has been caused and resources have been wasted.

JOIN THE MOVEMENT: PROMOTE INCLUSION WITH CANCARD™
A 2019 poll revealed that 77% of respondents support medicinal cannabis legalization.
Medicinal cannabis is gaining acceptance in the UK. With 1.4 million people cannabis users in the UK, the vast majority of which using it for medical purposes, patients are often vulnerable and many experience discrimination because of their medical requirements and treatment.
As understanding grows, so does the push for greater inclusion and equality for patients. Cancard™ offers businesses a unique opportunity to lead this movement, aligning with evolving societal values while fostering a climate of support for those using cannabis for medicinal purposes. By embracing Cancard™, organizations can position themselves as advocates for patient rights and pioneers in a more inclusive future.
