Trusted leaders in exceptional patient care and medical cannabis products

Cannabis (sometimes called marijuana) is a plant that contains biologically active substances in its leaves, flowers, and buds and their extracts. Medical cannabis is the use of the cannabis plant for medical and therapeutic purposes.

Yes, medical cannabis is considered safe for the vast majority of people, cannabinoids are non-toxic, and studies show they are well tolerated when used appropriately and with the support of a qualified medical professional.

However, every patient reacts differently to the effects of medical cannabis. THC-related side effects are most common, but can be reduced or prevented by a “start low and go slow” dosing strategy. CBD typically does not produce side effects. Working together with your healthcare professional and Patient Educator you can design a cannabinoid therapy that minimizes side effects and risks.

A few notable exceptions include women who are pregnant, those with a history of substance abuse, people with a family history of schizophrenia or children under 25 where the medical benefits of treatment do not outweigh the risks.

Medical cannabis can be procured with a Medical Authorization – often referred to as a prescription, which is obtained by scheduling an appointment with your doctor, a cannabis education centre, or cannabinoid clinic.

If you qualify for medical cannabis, the physician or nurse practitioner will give you a Medical Authorization for Cannabis (the Canadian cannabis industry’s version of a prescription) at the end of your appointment. This document can be sent to a Licensed Producer (LP) of your choice, (or split across LPs if you prefer) where you will then be able to purchase and send your medication by mail or courier. It can also be registered with Health Canada to allow you to grow your own supply of medical cannabis if that’s what you prefer.

First, complete your registration form online, or print and complete the Registration Form, and take it to your doctor along with the Medical Document. If you need assistance, please call us toll free at 1-844-546-3633.

Next, schedule an appointment with your doctor, a cannabis education centre, or cannabinoid clinic. Download and print the Medical Document and take it along to your appointment to be completed by the doctor.

After your doctor sends us the completed original Medical Document via secure fax or mail, our Client Care team verifies your information with your doctor. Once fully registered, you’ll receive an email with everything you need to shop online or order by phone.
