What You Need

Physical presence in Germany

You must be in Germany at the time of prescription and medication pickup. This is verified as part of our legal compliance process.

Valid ID document

A valid passport or EU identity card. Any nationality is accepted.

German delivery address

Hotel, Airbnb, hostel, or any German address works. No registered residence needed.

Medical indication

A qualifying medical condition assessed during your consultation. Our doctors evaluate your history and symptoms.

How It Works

01

Complete the questionnaire

10 min

Fill in your medical history and describe your symptoms.

02

Video consultation

15–20 min

A licensed German doctor reviews your case and conducts a short video call.

03

Digital prescription

Same day

Your prescription is issued digitally on the same day as your approved consultation.

04

Delivery to your address

1–2 days

Medication delivered directly to your hotel or temporary address in Germany.

Legal Requirement

You must be physically present in Germany at the time your prescription is issued and when your medication is delivered. We verify your location as part of the legal compliance process required by German medical law. Prescriptions cannot be issued in advance for use after you leave Germany.

Common Questions

Can I take my medication home with me?

It depends on your home country's laws. Within the EU/EEA, the CannaTravelPass (€89) provides legal documentation for cross-border travel. Outside Europe, check your country's import regulations.

Is the consultation available in English?

Yes. Our doctors are available in German and English. For other languages, let us know when booking.

How quickly can I get an appointment?

In most cases within 24–48 hours. If your stay is short, mention this when completing the questionnaire.

My only address is my hotel — is that accepted?

Yes, completely. We deliver to hotels, Airbnbs, hostels, and any temporary German address.

I already have a prescription from my home country. Does that help?

It can support your case during the consultation. However, a new German prescription is required — foreign prescriptions are not valid in German pharmacies.

What is the CannaTravelPass?

An additional €89 service providing certified travel documentation for carrying your medication across EU/EEA borders. Required by law when traveling between member states.

CannaNow provides a digital infrastructure that connects patients, independent registered doctors and pharmacies. CannaNow is not itself a healthcare provider; in particular, it is not a doctor, a medical centre or a pharmacy. Medical consultations, treatments and the issuing of prescriptions are carried out exclusively by independent, registered doctors on the basis of an individual medical assessment. Use of the platform and completion of the questionnaire do not entitle the user to treatment, a prescription or care.
