What I would tell a patient flying to Iceland
Iceland sits inside Schengen through an association agreement, so the framework is relevant to you. Substantive access is another matter: it is Sativex only.
Lyfjastofnun is the authority. High caution is the right posture here, because the certificate rests on a framework that applies while the domestic programme behind it is narrow.
Plan for a country where your preparation is unfamiliar to the people assessing it, and bring documentation that explains itself without you.
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.
