I have been therw 10 Doctors who have stated "I have no Interest in dealing with health Canada" " just wait till legalization"
I herd threw the grape vine that the college of physicians sent a letter out to doctors stateing those who do write perscribtion's for medicinal cannabis after December 30th will loose their license.
I have called health Canada and the college and am now contacting my member of parliament

I mean no offense but Im calling bullshit on what your Grapevine has to say. What basis would they be losing their license on exactly? You cannot threaten to take away a license that someone went to University for 7 years for simply because the college doesn't agree with the legal stance physicians have with cannabis. Makes absolutely no logical sense. Medical cannabis is legal therefore can be prescribed.
There's absolutely no legal means of doing so without passing a law or repealing the entire medical system. Which isnt happening anyway since this is all hypothetical. But hypothetically speaking, what exactly would happen to all the doctors working at LP clinics signing up patients exclusively with LPs if this were in fact true?

The wording used by other provinces doctor colleges was 'sanctioned'. That in itself is a barrier to receiving unbiased personalized health care.

So you have some knowledge of this being true?
I herd it from two sources.
Im talking the Saskatchewan College of physicians.

I have no direct knowledge of Sask. - I know other colleges have said doctors must comply with their guidelines which severely limit patients that are eligible and limit doses to 1 - 3g/day. Doctors don't want to deal with the bullshit, so they refuse to prescribe. It is a barrier to access that has not been properly addressed in court.

This shit is completely illegal and unjust. they can threaten a doctors licence,
"Just wait for legalization." unreal.....
Maybe you should wait for cancer to become legal.
Thanks Mr... would not have wanted to hear what I had to say ...

Thats fine. There's more than 2 people who believe in chem trails. Doesn't make it true. There's absolutely no legal recourse they can take for them doing their job. Medical cannabis is legal therefore so is prescribing it. Simple logic, not bullshit hearsay makes it rather obvious. As I asked before, what happens to all the physicians who work with LPs?

I feel your pain man. I tried doctor after doctor here in northern AB ever since the MMAR began with no luck. Finally got my recommendation from a doc in Vernon BC while out for a family visit in Aug 2016. Gave me 8g/day after my 2nd visit and it didn't cost me anything but gas money to drive an hour up there from Kelowna. Charged my AB medical for two unspecified visits.
Went out again this last Aug for my mom's 90th b-day party and that doc is now working at a pot clinic in Vernon. They wanted something from my local doc to prove I had depression and arthritis so I went to see him for that. He's from south Africa like all the rest we get here and when I asked him 6 years ago to sign he told me pot makes people crazy and he wouldn't. When I asked for a note about my conditions to get the BC doc to renew me he surprised the shit out of me by doing it right then and there. Seems he had got the cannabis training they make doctors do here before they can sign and renewed me at my 8g/day limit.
It was his last day here before going off for some surgical training for a year then will be back to work at a hospital an hour away. Not in time to renew me next year tho. I have an appointment on Monday to see a nurse practitioner who has her training for pot and is very pro-alternative medicine and got her license to practice right here in Canada! Fingers crossed that she's as good as she sounds.
Good luck with your quest and there must be some docs there that can help so try phoning different medical clinics and just ask if there is a doctor or nurse practitioner that is trained in cannabis you could talk to. Gotta be some there somewhere.
Good luck and a very Merry Xmas to you and yours!

Those are third part organizations that the college does not over seeCalyxCrusher said:
Same reason there are clinics that are charging 2 different prices for the same perscribtion. Priced based on LP Usage or Personal Cultivation.
And Health Canada is then enforcing this with there garbage practice of calling to verify perscribtion's.
Your glasses need adjusting.

Seems you don't understand how it works........ They still answer to the College of Physicians if they're employed as a physician within the province. They're the governing body for ALL physicians within each respective province. Doesn't matter who they work for. Which is why its so easy to spot the faulty logic in this
You keep making claims with ZERO proof. No glasses here, never needed them. I can see through bullshit without them

as a Med patient .... you will continue to look like a stoner in the eyes of health Canada,and the supposed gate keepers... the ones that are acting quite fickle,and making up the rules as they go...and weird restrictions being place on the patients...depending on how they would like to supply themselves their medication....
there has never been a time, where the rules to the Government's program for medical cannabis,have been twisted so bizarrely against those who choose to grow for themselves.
The doctor's responsibility in this should be to help a new patient determine an adequate amount to start with depending on how they would like to treat themselves .(eg oil's hash,rosin pressing, edibles and green-leaf,and not to leave them in short supply, especially when switching them from opiates to cannabis.) and that is it period.
beyond that it is HC's job to put together the documents for the patient,so they are not left vulnerable to the current laws.
hopefully in a timely manner.period..

I agree Dan , but I have a sneaking suspicion that they may place THC limits on oils and edibles. Making purchasing them not worth it. Considering they greatly dilute their oils for med patients, I'd say it's a possibility
they have been told that limiting is useless and evil to the sick and down right despicable when it comes to ripping them off with limits to their medications they need for life altering illnesses..
ALL DUE TO PROFFIT FOR SIOMETHING THAT COSTS NOTHING TO PRODUCE IN THE BACK YARD AND BETTER QUALITY MEDS.
because its all about getting high after all..

But they oversee the doctors who run them. The clinics are actually under the authority of the provincial health care system and are in violation of many of their rules.

Like Viannachris mentioned, they dont oversee the clinics themselves but the licensed doctors who work within them. If they are licensed to practice medicine within the province, LP clinic or not they're all overseen by the provinces colleges of physicians.
