*Why Cover:
NAC represents the beginning of a new mainstream pharmacy style approach to accessing Canada's legal medical cannabis program, where patients are given guidance and support by health professionals in a modern care centre. Health Canada operates a legal medical marijuana program called the MMPR but the process is complex. Learning how to access it and understanding what conditions can be treated and how to take cannabis medication safely, effectively and responsibly is NAC's specialty.
*Background:
NAC provides education on how Health Canada's medical marijuana system works. Members are connected with a physician for a medical assessment and NAC assists with selecting a Licensed Producer and submitting the required Health Canada medical documents. Members also receive pharmacist consultations and ongoing guidance on responsible use while NAC pharmacy software monitors safe usage. In addition, NAC members receive the National Access Cannabis Card, a secure medical marijuana card developed in consultation with law enforcement to assure police that patients are authorized to use medical marijuana.
