Contact your existing provider and request that your document be transferred to 8688958 Canada Inc and provide our SRFax number (833-356-2446) to send your medical document.
DO YOU OFFER COVERAGE FOR VETERANS?
Yes! We are proud to support our Canadian veterans and have a team dedicated to ensuring you will get the assistance you need while exploring your medical cannabis options. Manuvie covers duty taxes on cannabis for our medical patients and Veteran affairs Canada provides reimbursement support via Blue Cross on a variety of cannabis products.
HOW MANY GRAMS WILL I BE PRESCRIBED?
This will all depend on your needs as determined by the Dr. Or MP.
-If you’re a first time cannabis user, you may be prescribed a smaller amount (1-2 grams/day) and increased as needed.
-Moderate users of dried flowers, concentrates, edibles, vapes and topicals, may be prescribed 3-5 grams/day.
-Heavy users of high potency products may be prescribed 6-10 grams/day.
POSSESSION LIMITS
The first difference between recreational and medical laws has to do with how much cannabis can be possessed in public places. Recreational weed 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 on 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.
WHY SHOULD I BUY FROM YOU INSTEAD OF LOCAL DISPENSARY?
You will get much higher quality and freshness from Flodega as everything is done in house from “seed to sale”, as opposed to the provincial distribution system that dispensaries are required to purchase from.
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) allows medical cannabis to be claimed as a medical expense deduction on your federal income taxes.
