Ottawa’s first centre for access to medicinal marijuana is now open. The dispensary based in the Hintonburg vicinity is owned by National Access Cannabis, a business which provides education and support with medical professional and pharmacist help for legitimate access to Health Canada’s Medical Cannabis program.
“We are delighted to offer Ottawa inhabitants the resources and expert help required to access Health Canada’s authorized medical cannabis program securely and reliably with pharmacologist and health practitioner support,” claimed Gulwant Bajwa, CEO of National Access Cannabis.
Participants wishing to utilize this service are affiliated with a medical practitioner for a medical examination and NAC will help with deciding on a certified producer and distributing the necessary Health Canada medical files.
Todd Marcotte, who lives in Ottawa, knows NAC having used its services in British Columbia. He was approved marijuana combined ointment for the osteoarthritis in both of his knees. Marcotte said well before NAC he experienced a lot of pain.
“The only way I could alleviate that pain was over the counter kid of A525 types of things or applying a hot and cold press, that took time and effort and the A535 didn’t work well and of course having large pain tablets like Advil often,” says Marcotte.
NAC is in the development procedure with care clinics planned in locations all around Canada. The Ottawa area is the 2nd health care center following Victoria, BC in Jan of 2015. To date three thousand people have applied for a medical cannabis card at that area. Here in Ottawa, planners hope to equal or better results.
