All orders for medical cannabis are completed online, through a LP, and will be shipped directly to the individual’s doorstep.

Medical cannabis users have more leeway when it comes to where cannabis may be consumed. Medical users are allowed to consume cannabis anywhere tobacco is permitted, as opposed to recreational cannabis users who must consume the product in a private residence in the province of Manitoba. Medical cannabis users may also possess a higher amount of cannabis, based on their medical recommendation, and are allowed to carry tinctures, edibles and CBD products. 

Medical cannabis users may register to grow their own medicine or designate someone to grow it on their behalf. This is contrary to recreational users who are not allowed to grow their own cannabis in Manitoba. 

Medical users also have a greater selection of cannabis products to choose from. Licensed Producers offer products that are not available on the recreational market, such as CBD oil, tinctures and decarboxylated flowers. Licensed Producers will also be able to guide patients towards appropriate products for their medical needs.

Finally, all medical cannabis purchases are tax deductible as a medical expense.

Provincial laws in Manitoba dictate that recreational cannabis must be consumed in a private residence, whereas medical cannabis may be consumed anywhere smoking tobacco is permitted. 

Additionally, provincial laws do not allow recreational cannabis users to grow their own cannabis plants, whereas medical users may register to grow their own plants.

Winnipeg is the largest city in the province of Manitoba and is also the capital city. 

Winnipeg is located at the forks of the Assiniboine and Red River of the North and was named after Lake Winnipeg, which is the Western Cree word for “muddy water”. Winnipeg was a trading centre for aboriginal peoples long before it was settled by Europeans, due to the waterways that made the area easily accessible. 

Nowadays, Winnipeg boasts a diverse, multi-cultural population with significant Scottish, German, Ukrainian, Irish, French and Aboriginal communities. The population of Winnipeg also represents 54.9% of the population of Manitoba.
