How much does Medical Cannabis Cost?

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.
