What I would tell a patient flying to Norway
Norway has the clearest system on this list, and I say that as someone who spends a lot of time reading these frameworks.
The Schengen attest is issued through the pharmacy, with DMP behind it. Pharmacy-issued means obtainable, which is not something I can say about most countries here.
Domestically, Sativex and Epidyolex are authorised, and other products run through godkjenningsfritak, the exemption route. So flower may be prescribed, but only through that special route rather than as a matter of course.
One thing people miss: the attest covers Schengen. If you are flying onward to a non-Schengen destination, that document does not follow you. Confirm directly with the destination authority.
Patient education, not legal or medical advice and not a prescription. Law changes and enforcement varies by officer and by airport. Confirm your exact product, quantity and paperwork in writing with the authority named above and with your own prescriber, and carry the reply.
