Medical cannabis, made simpler
Not sure where to start? Start here.
Twenty Past Four is for people who want to understand medical cannabis without having to learn a whole new language first.
What it is. How people get it. What you might want to ask. And the bits that can feel confusing when you're new to it.
Why this site?
There's a lot of confusing stuff out there.
Search for medical cannabis online and it doesn't take long before you're knee deep in abbreviations, big medical words and arguments about whether it's brilliant or terrible.
Most people just want someone to explain the basics properly.
That's what Twenty Past Four is here to do.
Start here
The questions most people have at the beginning.
You don't need to know anything about cannabis before you arrive here. We'll start with the obvious stuff.

How do people get it?
A straightforward look at clinics, prescriptions and what the process can involve.
What does it come as?
Oils, flower and other terms can sound confusing at first. We'll explain what they mean without overcomplicating it.
What should I ask?
Useful questions to think about before speaking to a clinic or healthcare professional.
What about everyday life?
Driving, work, travel, telling people and other practical questions that often come up.
Keep it simple
No need to pretend you already know this stuff.
There are no daft questions here.
If a word doesn't make sense, we'll explain it. If something is complicated, we'll try to make it less complicated.
And if the answer genuinely isn't simple, we'll say that too.
Plain English
Less medical jargon. More normal words.
Start from the beginning
You won't need to know the difference between THC, CBD or anything else before you arrive.
