A social distancing guide for Canadians who use medical cannabis

I emailed National Access Cannabis Medical, a collective of healthcare providers, cannabinoid educators and clinic assistants who I have relied on for years. So when I got an email saying my medical cannabis recommendation needed renewed, I was nervous. Once your paperwork goes through and you are ready to order cannabis, you choose your licensed producer(s) and order directly from them. The Canadian medical cannabis system was already largely set up for online encounters — which isn’t always ideal — but many clinics are going completely virtual for these difficult times we’re in. But if you’re thinking about trying medical cannabis to treat something, your first time will be very similar — with some potential inclusion of a call to transfer any relevant medical history files from previous healthcare providers.
