This petition is to bring to Canadian Government both federal and provincial, to get them to either discuss covering the cost of medical marijuana for civilian users of medical cannabis. Whether they start a debate or just plain start covering the cost, we want them to see how important this is. People should not be choosing between medication or food.

The Canadian government keeps ignoring the reality that patients are forced to choose between their medicine and basic groceries. We are waiting for a single official to step up and take responsibility for this financial cruelty instead of hiding behind bureaucratic silence.

I'm on ODSP and can not afford my full monthly recommendation limit, ODSP drug plain should cover this just like an other medicine.
I'm on a fixed income and I can't afford to buy any this month. I'm allergic to narcotics so marijuana is my only pain killer.
Yes, I too think that the Government should pay for medical Marijuana perscriptions as they do with chemical Perscriptions. You are right, Medical Marijuana should fall under perscriptions So the general public won't have to decide between eating or rent or paying bills just to provide them selves a little bit of comfort from pain, we the people have a right to our Medical Marijuana and for it to be treated the same as Chemical perscriptions, we also should have the right to choose if we want a Chemical drug or a Herbal medication to alleviate our symptoms and not to have the General practictoins force us either way.
My ODSP drug card should be valid for my only Medical expense
universal health care
Id love to get my 6600 grams paid monthly. A script of 220 daily.
ya!

I am a Medicinal Cannabis patient due to Multiple Sclerosis. The government will pay for morphine and oxycontin for me but not for my Cannabis this is so very wrong. Choosing between food and being able to move my body and do my work is not what should be happening in a country with health care for all. I only get $875 on disability and manage to work 8 hours a week for a non-profit. Please think of the people that are legitimate patients.
