What I would tell a patient flying to Portugal
Portugal has run a programme since 2018 and accepts a foreign Schengen certificate.
Usefully for patients who use flower, the approved products referenced in my report include Sativex and Tilray flower variants. So flower is not a foreign concept to this system, which changes the tone of any conversation you end up having.
INFARMED is the authority. Check your own preparation against the approved list by name before you go, because an approved category and an approved product are not the same claim.
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.
