Cannabis Prescription

How do I get a Medicinal Cannabis Prescription

A medicinal cannabis prescription is a legal document that authorises you to use cannabis for medical purposes. It is provided by a certified healthcare practitioner who has assessed that the use of cannabis as a therapeutic option that may help your condition. The prescription contains information targeted to your personal needs, such as the type of cannabis product to be used, the dosage, frequency of usage, and duration of the prescription. This document is required to legally obtain medicinal cannabis products from authorised suppliers.

To obtain a prescription for medicinal cannabis from our clinic, we have a simple process: 

  1. Book your Initial Consultation. This can either be in person at one of our clinics or, we can see you via our online telehealth process.
  2. Fill out a patient intake form so we can learn more about your health history and present condition.
  3. Meet with one of our doctors who will establish your suitability for medicinal cannabis and if suitable, collaborate with you to develop a treatment plan based on your unique needs and goals.
  4. We can then dispense your medication from our dedicated CannaPlus+ dispensary, or we can send your prescription to the pharmacy of your choice.
