Medical Cannabis in St. Gallen

Around 76,000 people live in St. Gallen, and with the catchment area of Appenzell, Thurgau and the northern Rhine Valley the figure is well over 600,000. The city is the hub of healthcare in Eastern Switzerland, with the Cantonal Hospital St. Gallen and a dense network of family doctors and specialists.

When it comes to medical cannabis, Eastern Switzerland is comparatively well positioned, because the Alpstein Apotheke in Waldstatt (formerly Swiss Bio Pharma) is available locally as a specialised cannabis pharmacy. It is only about 20 minutes by car outside St. Gallen, in the Canton of Appenzell Ausserrhoden.

evidena.care combines the telemedicine consultation with local pharmacy care. You speak by video with our cannabis doctors and either redeem the prescription in person at the Alpstein Apotheke or have it delivered to your address in St. Gallen.

The Alpstein Apotheke carries one of the broadest cannabis ranges in Switzerland, including vape cartridges, which are not available in many other pharmacies. For patients in St. Gallen, Herisau, Wil and Thurgau, Waldstatt is considerably closer and easier to reach than most cannabis contact points in German-speaking Switzerland.

Telemedicine from evidena.care spares you the appointment at an overstretched family practice. You book online, speak by video, and the pharmacy handles the logistics on site.

If you prefer another pharmacy in St. Gallen, it can redeem your prescription, provided it can order the medication. Speak to your regular pharmacy directly.
