About Cannabis Clinic Cardiff
Cannabis Clinic Cardiff is an HIW-registered, psychiatrist-led online clinic assessing adults across the UK for medical cannabis, with a mental health focus.
Cannabis Clinic Cardiff is a psychiatrist-led medical cannabis clinic in Wales that assesses adults from anywhere in the UK by video. It was founded in 2021 by consultant psychiatrist Dr Dave Howells and chief executive Sam Ashton, and it trades through Canna Clinic Ltd. Because it is based in Wales, it is regulated by Healthcare Inspectorate Wales rather than the CQC; HIW's directory shows it registered on 22 January 2024.
HIW carried out an announced inspection on 5 February 2026 and published the report in May 2026. Inspectors found no immediate concerns and praised care planning, consent processes, safeguarding and record-keeping, while asking the clinic to add more health-promotion material and a more structured clinical audit program. The report says the clinic prescribes a wide range of products, mostly flower, and that 64 patients returned questionnaires, some of whom felt the prescribing criteria shut them out.
- Eligibility assessment: free; patients upload their Summary Care Record.
- Initial consultation with a consultant psychiatrist: £250, refunded if no prescription is authorized.
- Fixed monthly plan: £33.33, covering quarterly 30-minute reviews, repeat prescriptions, GP letters and travel letters.
- Medicine is paid for at the chosen pharmacy; the clinic's Grow Access Project offers discounts for eligible groups through a partner pharmacy.
The clinic focuses on mental health, listing anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, insomnia and related conditions, and it only sees patients over 18. Its Trustpilot profile is small but mostly positive, with reviewers describing personal, unhurried consultations; one 2026 reviewer complained about how a data access request was handled.
