Sapphire Medical Clinics was the first cannabis clinic to get registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and has bases in several cities, including London and Manchester.

However, Sapphire has helped make access much more affordable.
Earlier this year, the company launched a Medical Cannabis Registry to analyse clinical information on patients and help provide them with the most suitable product.
