How to quickly and easily obtain your
medical cannabis document.
1. Speak with one of our cannabis clinic partners at Canada House Clinics, approved nurse practitioners.
Your nurse practitioner will support you through the process of obtaining your medical cannabis document. Together, you will go over the new patient form that we provided them, and they will review our recommendations in order to provide you with the appropriate grams per day that you discussed with the nurse practitioner. The nurses can also provide education on selecting products, dosing, and different methods of consumption.
2. Receive your medical document and begin ordering medical cannabis direct to your door.
Usually with 48hrs or less you will be notified that your medical document has been accepted and registered with Abba Medix. You will instantly receive access to place orders in our medical shop and have the products of your choice shipped express to your door.
Why do I need a medical document?
Cannabis is legal now, so why use medical cannabis?
Recreational cannabis is legal throughout Canada, but doctors continue to prescribe it for many conditions. Now that Canadians can access cannabis, people wonder if medical cannabis and the process of obtaining a medical document is even necessary. When it comes to treating specific health concerns and accessing certain products, there are several reasons for using medical cannabis.
SELECTION
Abba Medix medical cannabis patients have access to many products not sold in each province, such as Edibles, Vape Pens, Topicals, and Extracts with more than 30% THC content. These are sought-after products that allow the user to accurately dose their intake and consume medical cannabis with different delivery systems.
COST
Not only does Abba Medix offer the most competitive prices in the medical cannabis industry but because medical cannabis is a medicine, users can receive coverage through their insurance. Canadian veterans prescribed cannabis are eligible for reimbursement of $8.50 a gram, up to three grams a day through Veterans Affairs. It’s not just the armed forces that have this access; major insurers such as Sun Life have given plan sponsors the option of adding it to their employee coverage plans.
According to the Canadian Revenue Agency, if you have a prescription for cannabis (i.e., a medical document), you can claim the amounts for cannabis, cannabis oil, plant seeds, or related products purchased for medical purposes up to $2,352 per year.
POSSESSION LIMITS
The first difference between recreational and medical laws has to do with how much cannabis can be possessed in public places. Recreational cannabis users are only able to publicly possess up to 30 grams of dried cannabis at a time.
Medical cannabis patients can possess much more than 30 grams. They’re allowed to carry up to 150 grams or a 30-day supply based on their medical document (whichever is less of the two).
In the past, medical cannabis patients were limited in the amount of cannabis they could store at home. Recently, these storage limits have been eliminated. Changes to Health Canada regulations have removed personal storage limits for medical cannabis users. This means patients can store as much medical cannabis at home as they choose.
