Canadian Cannabis Clinic opening June 4 -- no cannabis on site Oakville's first cannabis-specialized medical clinic is expected to open on June 4. "Unlike what you may be hearing about other participants in the medical cannabis industry, we are not a dispensary. There is no cannabis on site. We are solely a medical clinic with doctors, nurses and medical office assistants whose paramount focus is the best quality patient care," the clinic's Director and General Counsel Ronan Levy told the Oakville Beaver yesterday. According to a release announcing the clinic's opening at 2525 Old Bronte Rd., Ste. 260, Canadian Cannabis Clinics (CCC) is Canada's largest operator of medical clinics specializing in the assessment of patients for medical cannabis. "We have locations across Ontario -- St. Catharines, London, Ottawa, two in Toronto, Etobicoke and now Oakville," said Levy, noting the Etobicoke clinic opened in April of this year. People seeking medical cannabis must provide documentation by a doctor of an existing medical condition and of moreconventional therapies tried without success before meeting with a doctor. If approved, the doctor will write a "medical document," akin to a prescription. Patients may then see a counsellor for assistance navigating the application process to register with a licensed provider. Typically, a doctor will write a medical document for medical cannabis use for three months. Then a patient must attend for a follow-up appointment. All services are provided free of charge. Levy, who co-founded the company with Joseph del Moral, Hannan Fleiman and Leo Liao, said pain is overwhelmingly the health issue for which CCC's patients turn to medical cannabis. -- with files from Etobioke Guardian 9 | Friday, May 15, 2015 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com Come see why we have been voted best optiCal stoRe sinCe 1994! a wide variety Of deSigner BrandS: 0% Interest on All Water Treatment Equipment Until July 15th 2015 All Softeners, All Iron Removal Systems, All UV Units, All R/O Units!
