CBPM (cannabis-based product for medicinal use) in plain English
The UK regulatory category created in November 2018 for cannabis products that may be prescribed by a specialist.
To fall within the category, a product must be produced for medicinal use in humans, contain cannabis or a cannabis derivative, and be a preparation intended for medicinal use. Products meeting the definition sit in Schedule 2 of the Misuse of Drugs Regulations 2001.
Most CBPMs prescribed in the UK are unlicensed medicines, which is a central fact about this field and shapes what may lawfully be said about them.
