Frequently Asked Questions: Medical cannabis

Medical cannabis

Is the “daily quantity” on my medical document my daily dose?

The daily quantity on your medical document is not directly related to how much medical cannabis you should be taking each day. The daily quantity on the medical document is used to calculate your possession limit.  For more information on possession limits, please click here.  Dosing with medical cannabis can vary based on your symptoms, other medications, and experience with cannabis, so it’s a good idea to speak with your health care provider or contact our Pharmaprix Cannabis Care team to speak to an advisor or pharmacist.

What are the main active components of medical cannabis?

Medical cannabis contains over 100 cannabinoids. The dominant compounds are THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol).  For more information on THC and CBD and how medical cannabis works, please click here.
