About the Irish Canna Clinic
Integrative Medicine and Plant-Based Education
INFORM, EDUCATE, EMPOWER!
The Irish Canna Clinic was founded by Medical Cannabis advocate and PPMS (Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis) battler Stephen Garland.
An International Arts and Event manager by trade responsible for creating 2 multidisciplinary Arts festivals and have just delivered the 16th edition of Barcelona Comedy Festival in 2024.
I was also one of the Founding members of the Irish chapter of the PFSA (Patients For Safe Access)
I have spent many years frankly as a medical exile in Barcelona, a city that sensibly affords me the possibility to educate myself to find the medicine that works for me and subsequently LEGALLY!!! grow my own medicine (5 plants) and to safely access the full range of Cannabis products via the Cannabis Social Clubs (CSCs) structure.
There are over 200 CSCs across Barcelona providing safe access of cannabis to patients and public alike. It allowed me to over years study the complex area of different strains, their individual cannabinoids their effects on the ECS (Endocannabinoid System) which backed my years of formal education has given me a unique lived experience I seek to share!
Our Key Services - Education!!
Explore our highlighted services designed to foster health and wellness.
Our approach integrates various methodologies and evidence-based practices to enhance patient care and education.
Endocannabinoid System Education
Despite its significance, the endocannabinoid system (ECS) remains a largely unexplored frontier in Irish medical education as it is still omitted
It is a vital cell-signaling network that helps regulate balance in mood, pain, sleep, immunity, and more—maintaining homeostasis through cannabinoid receptors, endocannabinoids, and enzymes.
Our aim is to demystify this essential system, shedding light on its mechanisms and therapeutic potential and give guidance how to...
most critically address deficiencies.
It is a complex area but we have amassed over 20 years of study and practical learning to create bespoke solutions and guidance within a clear legal framework!

Ethnobotanical Education
Ethnobotanical treatments draw on ancient plant wisdom—using herbs, mushrooms, teas, tinctures, poultices, smoke, and sacred rituals to heal body, mind, and spirit. From nourishing tonics to psychoactive ceremonies, these traditions embrace nature as medicine, rooted in Indigenous and folk practices across the globe.
Ireland has its own unique rich heritage!
Traditional Celtic medicine honoured herbs like nettle, meadowsweet, yarrow, and elder, used for wounds, fevers, and spiritual protection. Nature was seen as both pharmacy and sacred teacher.
ICC can guide you through revival of these plant-based practices integrating ancient knowledge with modern wellness. In reconnecting with native flora and forgotten cures, community-rooted, and deeply aligned with our cultural soul.
Canna We Talk Now? - The Podcast
During "My Covid Years," I returned to college, and between 2020 – 23 finished two post grads in innovation which led me to engage closely with the student body at both UCD Innovation Academy and Trinity’s Tangent which had a specialisation in Healthcare.
I was inspired me to create a series of live online talks that would support my ‘Irish Canna Clinic’ project under two key themes:
🔹 Medical Cannabis DeMystified
🔹Cannabis DeStigmatized
To date there are over 35 Talks on the channel but please help by subscribing and sharing the Pod
2025 - Inaugural Irish Canna Fringe
The Irish Canna Fringe is a fearless celebration of the plant Cannabis sativa L. (a.k.a Cannabis, hemp) as catalyst for creativity, healing, and community.

Through a dynamic, nationwide festival spanning all 32 counties of Ireland, we aim to unite independent artists, performers, and promoters to showcase the power of cannabis as muse, medicine, and symbol of resilience.
