Medical cannabis Krakow - cannabis clinic, e-prescription, appointment

Krakow is a city where medical cannabis treatment is available quickly and without unnecessary red tape. The CannabisMedic clinic at ul. Gęsia 22A sees patients in person Monday to Saturday - we issue the e-prescription during the appointment, and you can usually find a slot within the same or the following week.

Cannabis treatment in Poland has been fully legal since 2017 and requires no referral from any specialist. Below you will find everything you want to know before your first visit in Krakow: who sees patients, what a consultation looks like step by step, how much it costs, and how to get to the clinic.

Consultations at the Krakow CannabisMedic clinic are conducted by dr Olha Kompaniiets - an internist with over 25 years of clinical experience (medical license no. 3706147). Dr Kompaniiets specialises in chronic pain and cannabis therapy, and sees patients in Polish, Ukrainian and English.

She is a doctor who treats every consultation individually - before the word "prescription" is even mentioned, she carefully reviews your medical history and conducts a thorough medical interview. This approach ensures the therapy is tailored to the individual patient rather than issued from a template.

Patient reviews give dr Kompaniiets a 5/5 rating for her approach to patients, clear explanations of the therapy, and the time dedicated to each consultation (~€40).

The clinic is located at ul. Gęsia 22A, 31-535 Krakow (OPEN MEDICAL complex) - in the Kazimierz district, close to Galeria Kazimierz shopping centre.

Getting here by public transport: tram lines 3, 9, 19 and 24 stop at ul. Starowiślna or ul. Grzegórzecka, just a few minutes' walk from the clinic. By bus - lines 128, 173 and 184 serve the Kazimierz area.

By car: parking spaces are available on ul. Gęsia and nearby streets. From the city centre (Rynek Glowny) it is approximately 10 minutes by car.

Opening hours: Monday - Friday 9:00-17:00, Saturday 9:00-13:00.

The first qualifying consultation in Krakow is an in-person appointment only - the doctor must examine you personally and review your documentation. Here is what happens during the consultation:

Pharmacies in Krakow typically source the product within 1-3 business days if it is not in stock - it is worth calling ahead to confirm availability.

The first visit is just the beginning of your treatment. Follow-up consultations are scheduled every 4-12 weeks - depending on your condition and how you respond to the product. The doctor reviews the effects, adjusts the dose or changes the delivery form if needed.

If you were previously treated at another cannabis clinic, we accept patients for continuation of therapy. You do not start from scratch - the doctor will review your existing documentation and adapt your treatment accordingly. Learn more about forms of medical cannabis (dried flower, oil, capsules) in our guide.

Patients at the Krakow clinic come not only from Krakow itself but from the entire Malopolska region. The most common origins are Wieliczka (approx. 15 km), Skawina (approx. 18 km), Niepolomice (approx. 25 km), Myslenice (approx. 30 km), Oswiecim (approx. 55 km) and Nowy Targ (approx. 75 km). For these patients, Krakow is the closest city with a cannabis clinic offering in-person medical care.

If you are travelling from further away, it is worth booking an appointment at a time that avoids the morning rush hour. We recommend mid-day slots (10:30-14:00) - the commute takes the least time then.

Poland has no closed list of diseases that qualify for a medical cannabis prescription. The decision is made by the doctor after assessing the clinical picture. The most common indications seen at the Krakow clinic:

The doctor may also consider qualification for other conditions - if you are unsure whether your case qualifies, call us or book a preliminary consultation. You risk nothing but the time of the conversation.

First qualifying consultation: 169 zł (~€40) (20-30 minutes). Includes a medical interview, review of documentation, qualification decision and - if the decision is positive - issuing of the e-prescription.

Follow-up consultation (continuation): 149 zł (~€40) (15-20 minutes). Includes assessment of therapy results, possible adjustment of dose or product, and issuing of the next prescription.

The cost of the product itself (dried flower, oil or capsules) is an expense incurred at the pharmacy - outside the clinic. Prices at Krakow pharmacies depend on the producer and concentration: a gram of medical cannabis flower typically costs 20-80 zł (producers available in Poland: Aurora, S-Lab, Tilray and others). Most patients spend 200-600 zł per month on the product. A full cost breakdown is available in our article on medical cannabis therapy costs in 2026.

A visit to a cannabis clinic is a specialist consultation focused exclusively on assessing the suitability of cannabis therapy. The doctor does not treat "everything" - they deal solely with qualification, product selection, and monitoring of therapy.

A few differences patients most often notice:

More about how obtaining a medical cannabis prescription works is described in our dedicated guide.

Do I need a referral? No. A visit to a cannabis clinic is a private consultation - it does not require a referral from a GP or any specialist. Simply book online or by phone.

Is the prescription issued during the first visit? Yes - if the doctor decides that cannabis therapy is justified in your case, the e-prescription is issued during the consultation itself. You receive the collection code by SMS or email usually within a few minutes.

How long is the wait for an appointment in Krakow? A slot is usually available within the same or the following week. You can check available times directly in the online booking form - slots for the coming weeks are shown.

Can I fill the prescription at a Krakow pharmacy? Yes. An e-prescription can be filled at any pharmacy that has medical cannabis in stock or is able to order it. In Krakow, several pharmacies regularly handle this type of prescription. If the pharmacy does not have the product immediately available, it typically sources it within 1-3 business days - it is worth calling before you visit.

What should I bring to the first appointment? Medical documentation - test results, discharge summaries, treatment cards, letters from specialists. A proof of identity. If you have a list of your current medications - that is also useful information for the doctor. Lack of documentation does not exclude qualification, but the more context provided, the better the care.

Is the visit discreet? Yes. CannabisMedic is a private medical practice - your medical data is protected in the same way as at any other healthcare provider. The visit appears in your Patient Internet Account, but is not accessible to your employer or any institution without your consent.

The fastest way is through the online booking form - select Krakow as the city, choose an available date and time. Confirmation arrives by SMS. Prefer to talk first? Call: 731 000 645 - we will help you pick a slot and answer your questions before the visit.
