Have you heard of medical marijuana? Chances are, you probably have. But if you're still not quite sure what it is or how it works, this blog is here to clear things up. So—what exactly is medical marijuana? It comes from the cannabis plant, often called hemp, and goes by many names like weed, pot, or Mary Jane. While it's gained a certain reputation in pop culture, cannabis is now widely recognized in the medical world for its potential to help manage symptoms like chronic pain, anxiety, sleep disorders, and more. Here in Canada, medical marijuana is legal and regulated under the Cannabis Act. Although not everyone agrees with cannabis legalization, there’s no denying the growing interest in its medical use. In fact, patients across the country are accessing it safely and legally through licensed producers or by growing their own with a Health Canada authorization. If you're interested in producing your own cannabis for medical purposes, you can apply through our GrowLegally Personal Production Application.
