Access medicinal cannabis with IntroCann

Section 21 Application

Currently the only way in which a qualifying patient is able to access medicinal cannabis in South Africa, is through a section 21 application to SAHPRA, after it has been prescribed by a doctor, who is able to submit the application on the patient’s behalf.

Doctor Prescribes

As a potential patient, consult with your doctor to determine your eligibility for medicinal cannabis. If eligible the doctor completes your prescription outlining the number of milligrams per day and the prescription duration, together with your informed consent.

Doctors are able to prescribe and access imported cannabis medicines for their patients on a patient-by-patient basis.
