MMAR/MMPR Injunction and what it means to you
The court ruling on Friday, March 21st left many patients and growers asking questions. We appreciate your patience in allowing us time to gather correct answers to your questions about this granted injunction.
If you were a designated grower, or a personal producer with a valid license as of September 30, 2013 you have been granted the legal abilit...y to continue producing your medication or your patients medication past March 31, 2014. This is valid for ALL patients and designated growers across Canada.
All designated or personal production must be conducted in the exact format that it is stated on your license.
For example:
As of September 30, 2013 John Doe had a license to produce his 3 grams per day (90 grams per month) medication at his home address of 1234, Fake Street, Faketown, AB, V1V O1O. John is now able to continue growing his 3 grams per day prescription at his home address past his licenses expiry of March 31, 2014. John is able to continue storing his medication in the exact amount that is indicated on his license.
- A patient and designated grower are able to have the storage amounts as indicated on their MMAR license.
- If you had a license that expired between September 30, 2013 and now or you did not renew your license (and it expired between September 30, 2013 and now) you are now legally able to produce medication within your expired license details.
- Designated growers are able to ship patients their full prescription amount as stated on their MMAR license.
-
A patient upon leaving their home can only carry on them an amount no greater than 150grams. This is regardless of their prescriptive amount.
- There is no option to make any changes to your license. Health Canada is not accepting any paperwork for new applications, address changes, prescription changes, renewals etc.
As it currently stands,
there is no longer any expiry date on the MMAR license. You can continue to produce your or your patients medication until a further court hearing. We will be keeping our website and social media outlets constantly updated with any further court hearings and related information.
- If you are a patient who was NOT producing your own medication and you did not have designated grower you have a license to possess. This does have an expiry of March 31, 2014. You MUST register yourself with a Health Canada approved Licensed Commercial Producer.

Although your license does not currently have an expiry
we are strongly advising all patients that you obtain a new doctor prescription (B1 or B2 form) before or at the time of your expiry. This form will not be sent to Health Canada or a licensed producer and will be only for you and/or your designated growers records.
Mr. John Conroy (
http://www.johnconroy.com/) and our legal guidance have both strongly suggested that you obtain a new medical document proving that you are eligible for medical marijuana as this will be your defense to legally use marijuana as a medication if you ever require it. Even though Health Canada is not accepting any medical documentation this will serve as proof that you are still in need of marijuana as a medication for your condition(s).
We would like to thank you again for your patience and understanding in this matter.
