Unhappy with a clinic, pharmacy or clinician? Here is where each complaint can actually go.

Different concerns go to different places. Adverse drug reactions go to the MHRA Yellow Card scheme. Concerns about a clinic or pharmacy's care go to the CQC in England.

See the full reporting guide. No cost. Just go to patientscann.org.uk/report.

Bad reaction to a product? There is an official way to report it, and it makes treatment safer for everyone.

The MHRA Yellow Card scheme lets patients report side effects from any medicine, including a CBPM. You do not need a professional to do it for you.

See how to report. Find out more free at patientscann.org.uk/report.

Travelling legally with your medicine takes paperwork. Here is what, and when.

Where travel is allowed, carry your medicine in its original pharmacy packaging with a prescriber's letter. For some trips you may need to apply for an export licence. Can take ten days or more.

The free travel guide lists every step. It's free at patientscann.org.uk/travel.

Many countries do not allow you to travel with prescribed medical cannabis at all.

A UK prescription means nothing at a border that does not recognise it.

Check the country directory. Free, always, at patientscann.org.uk/travel.

Planning to travel with your medicine? Check before you book, not after.

If you are unlawfully refused, you may be owed more than an apology.

If a venue unlawfully refuses you entry or removes you because of your prescription, you may be entitled to a full refund and compensation for costs like travel and tickets.

See how to complain. No cost. Just go to patientscann.org.uk/public-venues.

Can a venue ban you for vaporising? The law is clearer than they think.

Dry herb vaporising is not smoking and is not covered by the smoke-free rules in the Health Act 2006. Whether va**ng is allowed on-site is at the venue's discretion, not a legal ban.

The free venues guide explains it. Get it free at patientscann.org.uk/public-venues.
