In 2016 the Canadian government passed the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (ACMPR), which are intended to replace the Marijuana for Medical Purposes Regulations (MMPR). Since its passing, individuals and growers can apply to be sanctioned growers under the ACMPR, thus eliminating the need to access medicinal cannabis only through government-approved facilities. For the many Canadians who rely on medicinal cannabis being able to grow their own medicine may seem like the ideal solution. But before you apply for a grow license, there are some important facts you need to know.
- You can increase your production. The Cannabis Act allows for the production and use of cannabis and cannabis products for recreational use. Though it allows for recreational use, the Cannabis Act limited the number of plants any one household could grow to four. Under the ACMPR, individuals can now grow up to 500 plants so long as they are properly licensed.
- You can grow your own cannabis, but you cannot sell it. Under the ACMPR, patients can designate themselves as the supplier of their own medicinal cannabis. However, unless a grower is a properly approved and licensed manufacturer, it is still illegal to sell cannabis to others.
