SUMMARY:Authorizing Cannabis
DESCRIPTION:Since 2018\, patients have been able to access medical cannabis that has been authorized by a physician who signs a medical document. New research supporting the therapeutic use\, safety and efficacy on cannabis is only now emerging\, which puts family physicians in a difficult position as they may be asked to authorize cannabis when they are not familiar with the process.
