Medical travel · Colombia
Plan your medical-cannabis care before visiting Colombia.
CAMED helps international visitors understand the Colombian clinical pathway, prepare the right questions and avoid confusing a medical prescription with permission to cross a border.
Information, medical coordination and administrative orientation only. No border clearance, guaranteed prescription or cannabis sales.
The essential distinction
Medical care in Colombia and carrying a product across a border are two different legal questions.
Colombia’s baseline
Article 83 of Colombia’s Resolution 1478 of 2006 establishes a standard maximum of 30 days of treatment for controlled medicines carried for personal use and requires incoming patients to carry a copy of the prescription.
Choose your departure market
The first rule comes from home.
These guides are intentionally different. The United States, United Kingdom and Canada do not treat cross-border cannabis in the same way.
United States
State legality is not federal border permission
Understand why a state medical card does not authorise international transport and how to plan care in Colombia.
United Kingdom
Prescription evidence, DFLU and Colombia
Prepare prescriber evidence, check the controlled-drug schedule and plan the return before departure.
Canada
Do not cross Canada's border with cannabis
Build a Colombian care pathway without packing Canadian cannabis products for the flight.
Europe
Schengen paperwork does not cover Colombia
Check the national authority in your country of residence, every transit country and Colombia separately.
How CAMED prepares the pathway
Prepare remotely. Decide clinically. Travel with clarity.
We can begin with travel context and documents before departure. The clinician independently decides whether cannabis is appropriate and when the consultation can lawfully occur.
Step 01
Itinerary review
Origin, connections, dates, return route and the exact medicine—not simply the word cannabis.
Step 02
Document preparation
Prescription evidence, product details and authority questions are organised before the flight.
Step 03
Independent medical assessment
A Colombian clinician reviews the case; CAMED never promises a prescription.
Step 04
Country-specific next steps
The plan distinguishes Colombian care from export, transit and re-entry rules.
Real international experience, no invented testimonial
CAMED has already supported visitors from the United States and the United Kingdom.
Their preparation informs this process: start before travel, separate border permission from medical care, and document the route. We protect their identity and do not claim that one traveller’s outcome guarantees another’s.
A calm trip comes from verified rules and a realistic plan—not from a “safe-conduct” promise that CAMED or a prescription cannot legally make.
Start before departure
Tell us the route. We will help you frame the right questions.
Share your country, connection airports, dates and medicine name. Avoid sending full medical records through an initial marketing conversation.
