Introduction to Medical Cannabis

Cannabis Leaf Explaining - What is Medical Cannabis? Illustration.

What is “medical” cannabis?

Both medical and recreational cannabis come from the same source - the cannabis plant. However, “medical” cannabis consists of strains specifically chosen and developed to create certain medical properties.

Molecule Explaining - What is TBC and CBD? Illustration.

What is THC and CBD?

Researchers have identified hundreds of active ingredients in cannabis, but the two main ones are the phytocannabinoids Delta 9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and Cannabidiol (CBD).

THC is psychoactive so it creates the "euphoric” feeling whereas CBD is non psychoactive and therefore does not create a “euphoric” feeling. Both have their unique benefits and can be beneficial when used in combination.

Medical Cannabis Document Explaining - What is a Medical Document? Illustration.

What is a medical document?

It’s your “prescription”. In Canada, cannabis use is "authorized" by a healthcare practitioner, rather than being “prescribed” so the word medical document is used instead.

How much does medical cannabis cost?

This depends on the strain, dosage and the licensed producer chosen. It can range from $3.25/g to $15/g. Typically patients are authorized between 1 to 5grams/day.

Medical cannabis is generally less expensive than recreational cannabis with most licensed producers absorbing the excise tax and others offering up to 30% off with compassionate pricing programs. Canadian Cannabis Clinics is committed to helping patients access the medication they need and will help you choose products to fit your budget.
