The purpose of s.5 of the MMPR is to limit the amount of marijuana that
a patient may possess at a given point in time. It does not limit the
amount of marijuana that can be sold/dispensed to the patient in a given
30-day period. In fact, any patient whose medical document authorizes
them to consume more than five grams per day will be required to order
their medicine from their licensed producer more than once per month.
This is permissible, so long as the total amount shipped throughout the
month does not exceed the total monthly amount authorized by the
medical document (and so long as any one shipment does not exceed
the prescribed limit in s.5).
The CNMMA believes that it would be in the public interest to revise this
portion of the Q&A section to clarify this point. You may wish to refer to
Health Canadas FAQ page in this regard:
