How Do I Become A Member?

To become a member you must:

1. Possess a MMAR license (a federal exemption from the criminal code of Canada to possess a certain amount of marijuana for medical use),

OR

2. You can apply for a license by taking our forms to your Md, Naturopath, or Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor and have him fill them out and sign it.

First you need to talk to a doctor and identify your symptoms and explain that you believe using cannabis will relieve these symptoms.  Make a list of medicines and therapies you have tried and identify which has worked and which has not worked.

Your doctor will help you determine your prescription dosage and complete the Health Canada forms. Depending on which category you fall into, your doctor will have to help you fill in Form A and either Form B1 or B2.  All the Health Canada forms are easily found on our Membership page.

You will then submit the forms to Health Canada. They will notify you within 3-5 weeks that they have received it and the approval can then take up to 7 months.

In the meantime: while you are waiting for approval from Health Canada you can have your doctor fill out and submit our FORM S by fax to us.

Visit the Membership page for detailed instruction on this process.
