The marijuana plant has been used for thousands of years to treat various ailments in ancient China, India and Greece. More recently, there has been a torrent of interest in this complex plant that has garnered the attention of researchers, health practitioners and patients across North America.

In Canada, patients have a constitutional right to access marijuana for medical purposes.  <span class="cwgf-standard-line-height">On August 24, 2016, Health Canada released the new Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (ACMPR).  </span>

<strong>Medical Conditions</strong>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Your health care practitioner may have authorized the use of cannabis (marihuana, marijuana) for the relief of one or more of the following symptoms associated with a variety of disorders which have not responded to conventional medical treatments. These symptoms (or conditions) may include: severe refractory nausea and vomiting associated with cancer chemotherapy; loss of appetite and body weight in cancer patients and patients with HIV/AIDS; pain and muscle spasms associated with multiple sclerosis; chronic non-cancer pain (mainly neuropathic); severe refractory cancer-associated pain; insomnia and depressed mood associated with chronic diseases (HIV/AIDS, chronic non-cancer pain); and symptoms encountered in the palliative/end-of-life care setting. This is not an exhaustive list of symptoms or conditions for which cannabis may be authorized for use by your health care practitioner. ~ Health Canada</p>
Treatment decisions are best made in consultation with your health care practitioner. Under the ACMPR, an authorized health care practitioner includes physicians in all provinces and territories, and nurse practitioners in provinces and territories where supporting cannabis for medical purposes is permitted under their scope of practice.
