Medical marijuana is completely legal in Canada and is regulated by Health Canada. Once approved, you will have a legal right to purchase cannabis from a licensed producer and consume in your private property.
Our online application takes no more than 10-15 minutes. Everything online from start to end! Get started.
It normally takes up to a maximum of 72 hours to get approved and to order your medicine. Times may vary if your file is missing information or if you are not available to meet our healthcare professionals.
Medical marijuana in Canada cost in between $5.00 - $15.00 per gram with most costing about $8.50 per gram on average.
Licensed producers in Canada are currently allowed to sell dried cannabis, cannabis oils, cannabis creams, cannabis capsules, and cannabis sprays (oil-based). Edibles and drinks are not sold by producers (yet) but you can bake your own using cannabis oils.
Like any over-the-counter medication, a medical professional will specify a dosage amount. Medical marijuana is expressed in grams per day.
Medical marijuana is available to all Canadians suffering from a debilitating medical condition. 98% of applicants are approved for medical cannabis. See our extensive guide for a full list of symptoms and the official Health Canada regulations.
Licensed producers are regulated by the federal government through Health Canada under the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (ACMPR). Producers can have any combination of licenses to cultivate and grow and/or sell dried cannabis, cannabis oil, seeds, and/or plants to grow.
Dispensaries are not regulated by Health Canada and are therefore illegal. Although many dispensaries remain open, several have gotten shut down. This will only continue as marijuana is set to become recreationally legal by July 2018.
Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) offers coverage up to $9,300 per year. This is equivalent to approximately 3 grams per day at an average price of $8 per gram. Veteran patients looking to grow their own are not covered by the VAC. Check out our complete resource on medical marijuana for veterans including the VAC reimbursement policy, statistics and more!
