Free, online resource introduced for patients and healthcare professionals in Canada

Jul 8 2015

MarijuanaMedInfo Inc. today introduced www.MarijuanaMedInfo.ca a free, online resource for patients and healthcare professionals. The website provides scientific, clinical, regulatory, reimbursement and access information on the medical use of marijuana.

"The new Marijuana for Medical Purposes Regulations simplified the process for patients and physicians and removed some barriers to access" said Dan Rego, President of MarijuanaMedInfo. "What has been lacking is the provision of an educational initiative on the clinical use of cannabinoids for healthcare professionals and the public".

MarijuanaMedInfo.ca is designed to allow visitors easy access to published medical information on the use of marijuana for medical purposes, sorted by condition or disease. Information is provided around all aspects of medical cannabis use in Canada including the Marijuana for Medical Purposes Regulations, the Guidelines of the Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons, the Licensed Producers and the strains of medical marijuana available, coverage/ reimbursement of drug costs, medical marijuana clinics, routes of administration, precautions and warnings, as well as the medical document Healthcare professionals must complete. Additional educational materials focused at healthcare professionals managing medical cannabis can be obtained at no cost.

"We are pleased to be able to make this contribution to this new and evolving field of medicine which has so far showed a lot of promise … and we will continue to work with all stakeholders to increase educational opportunities, access to, and reimbursement for this medicine", Rego added.
