Work, Travel, Driving & Public Use
Can I get evicted for using medical cannabis?
No, you cannot be evicted solely for using legally prescribed medical cannabis. If you have a valid prescription, your treatment is legal, and you have the right to take your medication.
However, it's important to:
- Follow your tenancy agreement – Some landlords may have rules about smoking or vaping indoors
- Use approved methods – Smoking cannabis is not allowed in the UK, but vaping or using oils is permitted
- Communicate if needed – If you have concerns, you can discuss your prescription with your landlord to ensure there are no misunderstandings
If you are using medical cannabis responsibly and in line with UK law, it should not be grounds for eviction.
What documents do I need when travelling with medical cannabis?
When travelling with medical cannabis, you should carry:
- A copy of your prescription as proof of legality
- A travel letter from the clinic outlining your treatment and authorised medication
Always check the laws of your destination and airline policies before travelling.

Can I take my medical cannabis prescription abroad?

Always carry your prescription and necessary documentation.
How do I get a travel letter?
Yes, you can request a travel letter through the clinic.
