Finland allotment
There is no standard monthly allotment; the quantity is determined individually by the Fimea special permit based on the patient's specific medical needs. Patients must obtain their medicine through licensed pharmacies after the product is imported by an authorized pharmaceutical wholesaler.
- Quantity is determined on a case-by-case basis by Fimea.
- Patients must be registered under a specific, approved medical permit.
- Home growing is strictly prohibited.
- Personal importation of medical cannabis is generally illegal without specific, prior authorization.

Cannabis law in Finland
Limited accessFinland does not have a broad medical cannabis programme. Access is restricted to a case-by-case special permit system administered by the Finnish Medicines Agency (Fimea), which allows doctors to prescribe cannabis-based medicines only after all other authorized pharmaceutical treatments have failed.
- Access is granted on an individual, patient-specific basis via Fimea special permits.
- Only specific specialists, typically in university hospitals, are authorized to apply for these permits.
- Recreational cannabis use and possession remain illegal.
- Domestic cultivation of cannabis for medical use is not permitted.
- Sativex is the only cannabis-based medicine with full marketing authorization in Finland.
