Cannabis clinic Torun - medical marijuana, prescription, dr Shelest

Medical marijuana has been a legal form of therapy in Poland since 2017. If you are looking for a clinic in Torun where you can speak with a doctor, get a thorough qualification and leave with an e-prescription the same day - you have come to the right place. CannabisMedic runs an in-person practice right in the heart of Torun, on the Old Town Market Square. No months-long waiting lists, no sending documents blindly.

Below you will find everything worth knowing before your first visit: address and directions, the doctor's profile, what a qualification looks like, how much therapy costs, and why Torun is the most convenient choice for patients from across the Kuyavian-Pomeranian region.

The CannabisMedic practice is located in the very heart of the Old Town: Rynek Staromiejski 36/38, 4th floor, 87-100 Torun (Dom Towarowy PDT). This is one of the most recognisable addresses in the city - every local knows exactly where the Old Town Market Square is, no GPS needed.

How to get there:

The practice is open Monday to Friday, 9:00-17:00 and on Saturdays 9:00-13:00. Saturday slots are in high demand - it is worth booking in advance.

Consultations in Torun are conducted by dr Uladzislau Shelest - a doctor experienced in cannabis therapy, who sees patients both in Torun and at our Bydgoszcz branch.

The visit is not a routine prescription exercise. Dr Shelest conducts a full medical interview: he asks about your medical history, previous treatments, side effects of medications you have been taking, and what you expect from therapy. Based on this, he assesses whether medical marijuana makes clinical sense in your case - and if so, selects the appropriate form and dosage.

The doctor conducts appointments in Polish and English (appointment in English - 250 zl).

The first visit is in-person - you come to the practice on Rynek Staromiejski. It usually takes 20-30 minutes and follows a few steps:

A prescription for medical marijuana does not require a referral from another doctor. You can come directly. A detailed description of the entire process is in our guide how to get a medical marijuana prescription.

Cannabis therapy is a process, not a one-time prescription. After the initial qualification, follow-up visits take place every 4-12 weeks - depending on how you respond to the product.

During a follow-up visit the doctor checks the effectiveness of the therapy, asks about side effects and, if necessary, adjusts the dose or changes the product. This is when therapy truly fine-tunes itself to your body.

A follow-up visit costs 149 zl and lasts 15-20 minutes. You can book it in-person in Torun.

Poland has no closed list of conditions that entitle a patient to a medical marijuana prescription. The decision rests with the doctor, who assesses the clinical picture and whether other treatments have failed or cause too many side effects.

In practice, cannabis therapy at CannabisMedic most often supports treatment of:

On top of the visit cost comes the price of the product from the pharmacy. Dried cannabis flower at Polish pharmacies typically costs 20-80 zl per gram, depending on the strain and THC/CBD concentration. Most patients spend 300-600 zl per month on the raw material alone.

A full cost breakdown - visit, dried flower, oil, realistic monthly budget - is available in the article how much does medical marijuana therapy cost in 2026.

A GP at a National Health Service practice will not prescribe medical marijuana - technically they could, but in practice they almost never do. A cannabis clinic is a specialist practice where doctors have experience selecting cannabis products, understand the differences between strains, THC and CBD concentrations, forms of administration and their effect on various symptoms.

This means:

The different forms of administration - dried flower, oil, capsules, their pros and cons - are described in detail in the article forms of medical marijuana administration.

The practice on Rynek Staromiejski is for many patients from across the Kuyavian-Pomeranian voivodeship the closest or most convenient access point for cannabis therapy.

Where patients travel from:

Torun has good rail connections across the region, so many people arrive by train and walk to the Market Square from the station.

If you are from the western or southern part of the voivodeship, also check our branch in Bydgoszcz - for patients from the Inowroclaw or Naklo nad Notecia area it may be closer.

Do I need a referral to visit the cannabis clinic? No. The qualification visit does not require a referral from a GP or specialist. You book directly via the online form on the website or by phone.

Do I need to bring medical records to the first visit? You do not have to, but it is a good idea. If you have discharge summaries, test results, hospital records or a prescription history - bring them with you. Documentation speeds up the qualification and helps the doctor choose the right product. Lack of documents does not exclude you from therapy.

Can I book an appointment in Torun and travel from another city? Yes. A significant proportion of patients travel from Wloclawek, Grudziadz, Chelmno, Brodnica and other towns in the region. The practice is on Rynek Staromiejski - easy to reach both by train and by car.

How quickly will I get a prescription after the visit? The e-prescription is issued during the visit if the doctor decides on qualification. You receive the prescription code (to be filled at the pharmacy) by SMS or email within a few minutes of it being issued.

Where can I fill a medical marijuana prescription in Torun? The prescription issued by our doctor is a standard e-prescription from the P1 system - you can fill it at any pharmacy in Poland that has the product in stock. Chain pharmacies (DOZ, Gemini, Dbam o Zdrowie) often carry dried cannabis flower. If a pharmacy does not have the product, it can order it from a wholesaler.

Is medical marijuana therapy legal? Yes, in Poland since March 2017. A prescription issued by a doctor entitles you to purchase the product at a pharmacy and to possess it. Legal details and everything you need to know before your visit are in the article what is medical marijuana and how can it help.

The fastest way is via the online booking form on the homepage: select Torun as the location, choose a date and time - you will receive an SMS confirmation within a few minutes.
