Appointments
Once you have registered with Canada House, every new patient is required to meet with one of our experienced Cannabis Therapy Educators (CTEs). During your appointment, you will receive education about medical cannabis and evaluate if you would be a suitable candidate for medical cannabis treatment.
Following your CTE appointment, you will meet with one of our in-house Canada House doctors who will finalize your medical cannabis treatment plan and provide you with a prescription for medical cannabis.
