GUIDELINES

Great steps have been made in the past decade towards legalizing marijuana for medicinal use. Patients suffering from many grave and debilitating illnesses are being accepted by Health Canada to consume, posses & produce marijuana.

Health Canada has Two Illness categories.

Category One: Illnesses such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury or disease, HIV/AIDS infections, arthritis and epilepsy.

Category Two: Applicants with other debilitating symptom(s) or medical condition(s) that are not included Category One.

All applicants must have their doctor or specialist complete forms which are then sent with your application to Health Canada to obtain your license.
