According to the new Regulation of the Ministry of Health of October 30, 2024, from November 7, 2024, it is no longer possible to obtain a prescription for medical marijuana remotely, i.e. on-line from the so-called "prescription machine".
This applies to both patients who are just starting therapy and those who are already using medical marijuana.
The exception is prescriptions issued by a family doctor in a primary health care clinic under the National Health Fund (excluding night and holiday care). Here, you can still use teleconsultations and thus receive a prescription without the obligation to make an in-person visit as part of the continuation of treatment.
From November 7, 2024, a prescription for medical marijuana can be obtained after a stationary visit to a cannabis medicine clinic or a doctor experienced in this type of treatment. Even if it is a prescription for continuation of treatment in a private clinic, an in-person visit is necessary each time to obtain a new prescription.
Here you can find a list of cannabis clinics, check the price of the visit and book a consultation date:

"Through teleconsultation, you will not receive a referral for X-ray and tomography, nor a prescription for psychotropic drugs with a similar effect, or some reimbursed drugs that require access to a medical history." Such information appears on our website. Prescribing medical marijuana requires access to medical history, so it seems to me that you will not get such a prescription through teleadvice. Is there a maximum number of prescriptions that can be issued by a doctor within one teleadvice? There is no specific, imposed number - it all depends on the doctor and the course of teleadvice.
Thank you for the information. To clarify. 1. Do general practitioners from a service where half ek.pl have the ability to expose precepts to cannabis flos? 2. Is there a maximum number of prescriptions that can be issued by a doctor within one teleadvice? Thank you in advance for the information.

If your doctor determines that the medical records he or she obtains from you are sufficient to issue a prescription for medical marijuana, he or she can do so. In order for a doctor to be able to issue a prescription for medical marijuana to a patient, he must have a special print marked with the Symbol Rpw., which is reserved for narcotic drugs (the doctor may not have such a print, however). Medical cannabis and the drugs made from it are narcotic and psychoactive drugs - their turnover is strictly controlled. The decision to write it is invariably made by the doctor, so if he decides that further diagnostics are necessary and a visit to the attending physician (leading) may refuse to issue such a prescription - it is not his duty. A doctor prescribing medical marijuana should be guided by current scientific reports and not go beyond the scope of his skills and competences.
