Medical cannabis Bydgoszcz - cannabis clinic, consultation and prescription

Bydgoszcz is one of the few cities in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian region where you can attend an in-person appointment with a doctor specialising in cannabis therapy. The CannabisMedic cannabis clinic operates a practice right in the city centre - at ul. Dworcowa 13/U11, two minutes' walk from the main railway station. We issue an e-prescription for medical cannabis during the appointment, without a referral, without registration with the National Health Fund.

Medical cannabis treatment has been legal in Poland since 2017. Cannabis preparations - dried flower, oil, capsules - are available exclusively by prescription and dispensed from pharmacies. In this article you will find everything you need before your first appointment in Bydgoszcz: how the consultation works, who qualifies, how much it costs and how to book a slot.

Practice address: ul. Dworcowa 13/U11, 85-009 Bydgoszcz. Unit U11 is located in a building on Bydgoszcz's main transport artery - right next to the main PKP and PKS railway and bus stations. Getting here is easy by train from Inowroclaw, Naklo, Torun or Koronowo, as well as by city bus or car (parking at the station and nearby).

Opening hours: Monday - Friday 9:00-17:00, Saturday 9:00-13:00. Saturday hours are rare among private practices - they are appreciated by patients who cannot take time off work during the week.

Consultations at the Bydgoszcz branch are conducted by dr Uladzislau Shelest - a physician who has been specialising in cannabis medicine for several years, treating patients in Bydgoszcz and Torun. Dr Shelest qualifies new patients and manages long-term therapy - he monitors how the body responds and adjusts the preparation and dosage at each follow-up visit.

You can bring any documentation from previous treatment to your consultation - test results, discharge summaries, specialist opinions. The doctor assesses whether cannabis therapy could complement or replace your current treatment. If you qualify, the e-prescription is sent to the P1 system during the visit itself - you collect it via an SMS code at any pharmacy.

Patients who come to us for the first time have often spent years on medications that stopped working or caused side effects they couldn't bear. Here we start with a conversation, not a prescription.

The first qualifying consultation lasts 20-30 minutes. Here is how it works:

1. Booking a slot - via the online form on the website (you select the city Bydgoszcz and a free slot) or by phone at 731 000 645. Confirmation arrives by SMS.

2. Documentation - bring whatever you have: hospital discharge summaries, test results, neurologist or psychiatrist opinions. This is not a strict requirement, but it speeds up the consultation.

3. Interview and assessment - the doctor conducts a detailed interview: symptoms, medical history, previous treatments, medications, allergies. Based on this, they assess whether cannabis therapy is the right choice.

4. e-Prescription - if you qualify for therapy, the doctor issues the prescription immediately. You receive the code by SMS and fill it at any pharmacy that stocks the preparation.

5. Follow-up visit - in 4-12 weeks you return for a check-up to fine-tune the dose and preparation to your needs. Subsequent visits tend to be shorter.

If you have already been treated previously - with another doctor or at another clinic - we can take over your therapy. You don't start from scratch: the doctor reviews your history and continues treatment.

Full details of the entire process - from booking to collecting the first preparation from the pharmacy - are described in our guide how to get a prescription for medical cannabis.

The practice at Dworcowa serves patients from Bydgoszcz as well as the wider region - including Inowroclaw, Naklo nad Notecia, Koronowo, Solec Kujawski and surrounding towns. The location near the station is a deliberate choice: the train journey from Inowroclaw to Bydgoszcz takes under 40 minutes, from Naklo around 30 minutes.

An e-prescription issued in Bydgoszcz is valid nationwide in the P1 system - you fill it at a pharmacy close to home, without needing to return to the clinic. Follow-up visits can also be held in Torun - if that happens to be closer.

Cannabis clinics in Poland operate exclusively as private practices - cannabis therapy is not reimbursed by the National Health Fund. This means patients often look for a location that is easy to reach without taking a day off work. Saturday hours in Bydgoszcz are a direct response to that need.

There is no official list of conditions that entitle a patient to a medical cannabis prescription - the doctor assesses each case individually, taking into account symptoms, medical history and previous treatments. In practice, the most common indications are:

We describe more about what medical cannabis is and how it can help in a separate article. If you are unsure whether your symptoms qualify for therapy - call before your visit and the doctor will make a preliminary assessment by phone.

The cannabis preparation itself is purchased separately at the pharmacy - the doctor prescribes a specific product (dried flower, oil or capsules) and concentration. The price of one gram of cannabis flower is approximately 20-80 zł depending on the manufacturer and THC/CBD content. The monthly cost of therapy for most patients comes to 300-600 zł including the follow-up visit.

The full therapy budget - visits, preparation, pharmacy - is broken down in our guide how much does medical cannabis therapy cost in 2026. Available preparation forms - dried flower, oil, capsules - are covered separately: forms of administering medical cannabis.

A GP or most specialist clinic doctors will not prescribe medical cannabis - prescribing cannabis preparations requires knowledge of cannabinoid pharmacology, dosing and interactions with other medications. Cannabis clinics like CannabisMedic specialise exclusively in this form of therapy.

What does this mean in practice? The doctor knows the preparations available in Poland, the manufacturers (Aurora, S-Lab, Tilray and others), the differences in THC/CBD profiles and how to match a preparation to the type of condition. You don't risk receiving a random prescription - the doctor selects the product deliberately and at the follow-up verifies the effects and adjusts the dose.

Another difference: no referral and no queues. You book an appointment yourself - online or by phone - and come at your chosen time. You do not need approval from a GP or the National Health Fund.

Do I need a referral? No. CannabisMedic is a private clinic - we do not require a referral from a GP practice. You book directly, without any National Health Fund formalities.

Will I definitely receive a prescription at my first visit? The doctor qualifies each patient individually. If your health condition and treatment history indicate that cannabis therapy may help, the e-prescription is issued immediately. If the doctor determines that more data or tests are needed - they will tell you clearly what to prepare.

Can I fill the prescription at a pharmacy in Inowroclaw or Naklo? Yes. The e-prescription enters the nationwide P1 system and is valid at any pharmacy in Poland that stocks the preparation. You do not need to fill it in Bydgoszcz.

How long is the wait for an appointment? Slots in Bydgoszcz are usually available within a few days. Available slots are visible in real time in the online booking calendar - you choose the date and time without needing to call.

Is the visit anonymous? The clinic processes data in accordance with medical records regulations and GDPR. Information about the visit and the prescription enters the P1 system (as with any prescription in Poland), but is not shared with your employer or any other third party.

What should I bring to the first visit? An identity document and - if you have it - medical documentation: test results, specialist opinions, a list of medications you are currently taking. Documentation is not mandatory, but it speeds up the interview and helps the doctor select the right therapy.
