Part 3: How to Register for Medical Cannabis in Canada – The Next Step After Your Prescription

Once your medical cannabis assessment is complete and your practitioner has provided your medical document, the next step is registering with a licensed producer or applying for a personal grow licence. This step finalizes your access to medical cannabis in Canada—and it’s where many patients feel unsure. At GrowLegally, we’re here to make it as easy as possible.

Registration is mandatory for legal access, whether you're planning to order from a licensed supplier or grow cannabis at home. Your prescription alone does not allow you to buy or cultivate. Health Canada requires patients to complete this step before any cannabis can be sent, delivered, or grown under the medical program.

When working with a Medical Cannabis Clinic in Toronto like GrowLegally, we help patients across Canada register with confidence. You’ll choose a licensed producer (LP) that suits your needs, with access to lab-tested products including oils, capsules, topicals, and dried flower. If growing your own medicine feels right for you, we’ll help you apply for a personal production licence under the ACMPR framework.

This is where we often see confusion—especially between recreational and medical access. Under medical access, you may be eligible to grow more plants than the four allowed recreationally. The amount is based on your prescribed daily dosage and calculated by Health Canada using a set formula.

Registration forms must be filled out accurately and submitted with your medical document. At GrowLegally, we handle this process for you at no cost when registering with a licensed producer, ensuring it’s done right the first time and minimizing delays.

Patients in Ontario and across Canada are often surprised by how fast and stress-free this can be with the right support. Within days of registration approval, you’ll receive login details from your LP or a licence confirmation from Health Canada, depending on your chosen access route.

Medical Cannabis use in Canada is your legal right when prescribed. Whether you’re choosing to grow your own or order directly, GrowLegally ensures you’re never left to figure it out alone.
