The regulations aim to provide access to quality-controlled dried marijuana for medical purposes, produced under secure and sanitary conditions, to those Canadians who need it. What it means is doctors, rather than Health Canada are agents, issue medical cannabis prescriptions. Also, patients who want medical cannabis now have to purchase it from a licensed producer while previously an approved patient could grow their own. According to its press release, CCC is Canada's largest operator of medical clinics specializing in the assessment of patients for medical cannabis. Kerr Village Learn more.
