What I would tell a patient flying to Poland
Poland is, on the data I hold, one of the better destinations on this list for a patient carrying flower.
There has been a programme since 2017, flower is available on prescription through pharmacies, and the Schengen certificate is accepted according to the report.
That combination is rare. It means the category is familiar to the pharmacists and, by extension, less alien to the officials around them.
GIF and the regional health authority are the certificate route. Carry the certificate anyway. Familiarity reduces friction, it does not remove the need for documentation.
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.

Check transit countries
A layover or road crossing can create a different legal risk from the destination.
