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.
