Another day, another e-mail from a patient who can no longer afford to continue on a medical treatment that is safer and more effective than anything else they’ve been on because they can’t afford it. This should make everyone who believes in universal healthcare furious.

One of the most common questions I receive is: How much does medical cannabis cost?

Here’s a quick run-down at our clinic:

  • Visit: Most patient visits are covered by OHIP, with no additional cost to you

  • Medication: Many Licensed Producers offer special pricing based on your circumstances, including new patient, low-income and seniors discounts. If you’re a veteran, Veteran’s Affairs Canada will cover the cost of your medical cannabis up to a certain limit. Certain unions and private insurers also cover the cost for certain conditions, so it’s definitely worth an ask.

  • Tax Deductible: Medical cannabis is a deductible health expense approved by Revenue Canada 


For any additional questions or to inquire about your specific circumstances, please contact our team at 519-339-9233 or info@pearsonhealth.ca.
