Scaling Up to Meet Growing Demand
Releaf’s clinic is already seeing over 100 patients daily, with demand expected to soar in the coming year. The partnership with Glass Pharms is essential to supporting this growth and ensuring that patients have consistent access to cannabis-based treatments. Glass Pharms’ domestic production capability will play a crucial role in solving supply chain issues that have long plagued the UK market.

A Boost for Patient Care in the UK
The UK’s medical cannabis industry has often struggled with prescription availability and consistency. By partnering with Glass Pharms, Releaf aims to address these challenges head-on. The domestic supply chain ensures that patients won’t face delays or shortages, which can have serious consequences for those relying on cannabis for their treatment.
With an estimated 45,000 people already receiving medical cannabis in the UK, this deal could significantly increase the sector’s capacity. As more patients turn to cannabis for treatment, partnerships like this will be critical for supporting the industry’s growth.
