Medical cannabis is legal in the UK and is treated in the same way a substance such a codeine is. It is extremely expensive, and tightly regulated, only being available to people with a legitimate illness such as a chemotherapy patient or a person who has persistent nausea. The form of cannabis is synthetic, and actual drug trails with the real thing are still underway.

Medical cannabis is now legal in the UK, but there are still some restrictions on who can access it. Prescribing medical cannabis is only allowed for certain conditions, and only when other treatments have failed.To get a prescription for medical cannabis, you will need to see a specialist Doctor Who is registered with the General Medical Council.

Can prescribed medication give a positive drug swab?

Yep. In most cases there are many similar prescribed drugs to the ones on the streets, so if you have to take a drug test tell them what medications you have a prescription for -- I don't think it is legal for them to discriminate against you for failing due to your legally prescribed medication, but legal means federally legal which excludes medical cannabis. If they discriminate I'm also maybe 70% sure you might be able to sue them under the ADA or some other law.
