Medical Cannabis in Basel

Around 174,000 people live in Basel, over 800,000 including Baselland and the trinational catchment area. The city is home to Roche, Novartis and one of the largest university research landscapes in Europe, which paradoxically does not automatically make it an easy place for medical cannabis.

Many family doctors in Basel are still hesitant about cannabis prescriptions, even though the legal situation has been clear since August 2022. Specialised contact points are rare and usually overstretched. Patients in the Basel region frequently report waiting times and uncertain answers.

evidena.care makes cannabis therapy accessible for Basel without you having to visit a practice. The consultation takes place by video, and the medication is delivered directly to Basel from one of our Swiss partner pharmacies.

In Basel itself we currently have no local partner pharmacy. That is no problem, because Swiss pharmacies are allowed to ship medicines by post throughout Switzerland. Your cannabis medication typically comes from the Stauffacher pharmacy in Zurich or from Swiss Bio Pharma in Lustmühle, both of which have years of experience shipping to the Basel region.

For you as a patient in Basel this means saving travel and waiting time. The consultation is by video, the prescription is digital, and delivery is by post with confirmation of receipt. You stay in contact with the treating physician and the pharmacy throughout.

If you prefer to collect your medication in person, any Basel pharmacy can redeem your prescription, provided it can order cannabis. Speak to your regular pharmacy directly or ask evidena.care for a recommendation.
