History

After UK legalisation of medical cannabis in November 2018, [4] Releaf Dispensary Ltd, founded by Mason Soiza, [5] was incorporated on 10 May 2022. [6] Buoyed by a £1.5m funding round in 2023, [1] Releaf developed a health technology platform to ease access to cannabis-based prescription medicines (CBPMs) for patients. [5] [7]

Releaf has conducted surveys [7] and organised campaigns to inform medical professionals [8] and to promote broader awareness among potential patients about the CBPMs space including through celebrity users, [9] [10] promotion of CBPM ID cards, [2] [3] and information about how CBPMs might be consumed. [11]

Releaf is a member of the UK's Cannabis Industry Council. [12]

Chloe Durrington was the first patient in the UK to be prescribed by Releaf with cannabis flower, [13] which was grown legally for commercial sale by Glass Pharms. [14]

In September 2025, Releaf was shortlisted in four categories at the Growing Business Awards 2025 [15] and was awarded Young Company Of The Year. [16] The company also acquired the domain name Releaf.com for £110,000 in the same month. [17] [18] In October 2025, the company expanded into the German medical cannabis market. [19] [20]

In January 2026, Releaf launched a 24/7 legal helpline to provide guidance for UK patients with medical cannabis prescriptions. [21]
