Medical Cannabis in Lausanne
Cannabis prescription from Lausanne, video consultation in German, medication delivered directly to the Canton of Vaud.
Cannabis therapy for Lausanne
With around 140,000 inhabitants, Lausanne is Switzerland's fourth-largest city and the centre of the Canton of Vaud. With the CHUV, Lausanne has one of the largest university hospitals in French-speaking Switzerland. Even so, medical cannabis remains uncommon in local pharmacies.
Patients report that many family doctors in the region still hesitate to prescribe cannabis, even though the legal basis has been clear across Switzerland since August 2022. Specialised contact points in Lausanne are few, and for patients from Geneva or Montreux, access is a recurring issue as well.
evidena.care also offers cannabis therapy to patients in Lausanne. The consultation takes place by video, primarily in German (French on request), and the medication is sent to you by post from a Swiss partner pharmacy.
