Access to cannabis for medical purposes
The Cannabis Act came into force on October 17, 2018. Since that date, new regulations have replaced the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (ACMPR).
Some changes have been made to improve patient access.
Patients authorized by their health care provider are still able to access cannabis for medical purposes by:
- buying directly from a federally licensed seller
- registering with Health Canada to produce a limited amount of cannabis for their own medical purposes
- designating someone to produce it for them
Subject to the legal age limit in their province or territory, they are also able to buy cannabis:
- at provincial or territorial authorized retail outlets
- through provincial or territorial authorized online sales platforms
