Do I need a prescription to buy medical cannabis?

Orders include a post-payment clinical screening reviewed by a HPCSA-registered practitioner. You don't need an existing prescription — the screening starts the process.

What is SAHPRA Section 21?

Section 21 of the Medicines Act allows SAHPRA to authorise patient-specific access to medicines not yet registered for general sale. Medical cannabis products are dispensed under this pathway. Each authorisation is valid for 6 months.

How long does approval take?

Internal clinical review usually within 24 hours. SAHPRA Section 21 authorisations (where required) typically 2–3 business days. The pharmacy dispatches as soon as authorisation is in hand.
