Medical Cannabis in Ontario

How do I get medical cannabis in Ontario?

The process for obtaining medical cannabis is the same in Ontario as it is in other Canadian provinces, however, the process is still quite different than the process of getting other types of prescriptions. Medical cannabis in Canada is regulated under the Cannabis Act.

At CannaWay Clinic, we help our patients through every part of the process. The first step is to schedule a virtual appointment using our online web form. You do not need a doctor’s referral to schedule an appointment.

Once you have been granted a prescription, you can order your prescription through an Approved Licensed Producer. Medical cannabis is tax deductible in Canada and may even be covered by some health insurance policies.

CannaWay Clinic serves patients across Ontario including Toronto, Ottawa, London, Kitchener-Waterloo, Hamilton and Niagara.

What are the regulations concerning the use of medical cannabis in Ontario?

Although healthcare is governed through provincial bodies, the Cannabis Act is the regulatory framework that guides the use of medical cannabis across the country. CannaWay Clinic is compliant with both federal and provincial legislation that relates to healthcare and medical cannabis.

To access medical cannabis, patients must obtain a prescription from a health care practitioner. At CannaWay Clinic, you will have a comprehensive consultation where a medical cannabis prescription will be granted if deemed appropriate for your ailments or symptoms. Then, a licensed cannabis producer will fill your prescription for products such as CBD or THC oils, cannabis topicals or cannabis flower.

With your prescription, you can travel anywhere in Canada with your medical cannabis. You may not take your medical cannabis with you on international trips at this time.
