Health Canada has approved the use of cannabis as a legal medicine since 2001 and there are 35 Health Canada regulated Licensed Producers (listed here) who sell it to Canadians. NAC is working within the guidelines of Health Canada’s ACMPR (Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations) to help Canadians have informed, legal, safe and responsible access.

ACMPR stands for Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations and is the new set of rules replacing the previous rules of the MMPR. This change took place officially on August 24, 2016 and outlines the updated rules for growing, buying and selling medical cannabis in Canada. It has developed a formal system for doctors, patients and large-scale commercial growers known as Licensed Producers (LPs).

In order to purchase medical cannabis from a Licensed Producer (LP), patients must have a medical document, similar to a prescription. NAC quickly connects members to a network of physicians for a medical assessment and if it’s determined that medical cannabis is a good treatment option, NAC helps members navigate the paperwork and submit all required medical documents. NAC also assists members in selecting a Health Canada LP, provides guidance on the types of medical cannabis for specific ailments and advises members on safe usage.
