To purchase medical cannabis, you will need to obtain a medical document, which is like a prescription, from a licensed healthcare provider. This can be a doctor, and in some provinces a nurse practitioner. If you need help finding a healthcare provider, we can assist you. Check out our clinic finder to access a healthcare provider near you for an in-person visit, or book a virtual appointment with our partner, HelloMD.

With a medical document, your symptoms are monitored by a professional, plus you gain access to our Shoppers Cannabis Care Team including cannabis-trained pharmacists who can assist with product selection, dosing, and advise on potential drug interactions or cautions. In addition, a medical document may allow you to claim medical cannabis as a medical expense on your tax return. For more information about this, please click here. Purchases may also be covered by your private insurance plan. For more information on obtaining a medical document, and assistance in doing so, click here.
