Starting medical cannabis treatment for the first time can feel like stepping into the unknown. You might be wondering how the process works, what your consultation will involve, or even what your medication will look like.
This guide takes you through each step, from your first click on the eligibility checker to your first delivery, so you can feel confident, informed, and in control.
Step 1: Checking Your Eligibility
The journey starts with a quick online questionnaire.
You’ll answer a few simple questions about your condition, symptoms, and any treatments you’ve already tried. This helps the clinical team understand whether medical cannabis might be an option for you.
At Medibiss, the eligibility check is free, confidential, and takes less than five minutes.
There’s no obligation, just clarity on whether it’s worth booking a consultation.
Step 2: Booking Your Consultation
If you’re likely to qualify, you’ll be invited to book a secure video appointment with a registered, licensed doctor.
They’ll review your medical history in detail, explain how cannabis-based medicines work, and discuss whether they could help with your symptoms.
This is your chance to ask questions, from potential side effects to how long it takes for treatment to work. The goal is to make sure you feel informed before making any decisions.
Step 3: Getting Your Prescription
If your doctor decides medical cannabis is appropriate, they’ll create a personalised treatment plan. This includes:
The type of product (flower, oil, capsules, or other formats)
The strain or formulation best suited to your symptoms
Guidance on dosage and frequency
You’ll receive your login details for the patient portal, where you can browse your approved products and place your order.
Step 4: Delivery to Your Door
Once ordered, your prescription is dispensed by a licensed partner pharmacy and delivered in discreet packaging.
Most patients receive their medication within a few days, so there’s no need to wait weeks before starting treatment.
Step 5: Ongoing Support
Medical cannabis treatment doesn’t stop after your first prescription.
You’ll have follow-up appointments to review your progress, adjust dosages, and explore alternative products if needed.
The Medibiss team is also available to answer questions at any stage, from understanding lab results to managing side effects.
What Your First Weeks Might Feel Like
Everyone’s experience is different. Some patients notice an improvement in sleep, pain, or anxiety within days, while others see gradual changes over weeks.
The most important thing is to follow your doctor’s guidance, keep track of your symptoms, and be honest during follow-ups so your treatment can be fine-tuned.
The Bottom Line
Starting medical cannabis treatment is simpler than most people expect.
With the right guidance, it’s a safe, legal, and patient-focused process designed to help you manage your symptoms more effectively.
At Medibiss, we’re here to make every step clear, so you can start your treatment with confidence.
