The Apollo doctor will make a medical cannabis recommendation which includes daily dosing and specific products that will benefit the user. Once the recommendation has been made individuals will register with one, or several, Licensed Producers (LPs) of their choosing.
A Licensed Producer is a cannabis company who is registered to sell medical cannabis to medical cannabis users and does not offer recreational cannabis that is available to the public. All orders for medical cannabis are completed online, through a LP, and will be shipped directly to the individual’s doorstep.
Both medical and recreational cannabis are now legal in Canada under The Cannabis Act, and millions of Canadians are taking advantage.
When comparing cannabis use for medical and recreational purposes, it’s vital to keep in mind that each person’s preferences and intentions will ultimately determine how much cannabis is consumed, how it is dosed, and what effects are expected.
Using medical cannabis is similar to any other medication, and when guided by a medical professional, can yield positive results in terms of symptom management and improvement in patients’ overall quality of life. That said, cannabis is a personalized medication and success in symptom relief can rely on a number of factors that a medical professional can help provide guidance for including cannabinoids utilized, strength, ingestion method, dosing times, and more.
When used with medical guidance, cannabis has been shown to have a wide range of benefits including pain management, anti-inflammatory, and as an aid for insomnia. It is also highly acclaimed for its capacity to prevent seizures and help manage the symptoms associated with cancer.
Canadians who have a prescription for medical cannabis obtain benefits over recreational users that include an increased personal carrying limit, wide selection of CBD products, tax deductible medication, compassion pricing, and more.
CBD offers a unique alternative to traditional cannabis-based therapies as it is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid which has the potential to act on a number of symptoms including pain, inflammation, mood, and anxiety. Apollo Cannabis Clinic offers free appointments to all 830,000 residents of Mississauga as well as surrounding communities all over Ontario.

Provincial laws in Ontario dictate that recreational cannabis may be consumed in public spaces where tobacco smoking is permitted. Some municipalities have tightened consumption laws, although Mississauga does allow public consumption in designated areas. Medical cannabis users are allowed to consume cannabis in public wherever tobacco is permitted.
Additionally, provincial laws dictate that four plants per household may be grown recreationally.
