Becoming a medical grower/patient - American Citizen - Canada - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

clp · 05-18-2010, 11:14 PM

Hey all you Canadians,
I am joining your ranks next year and moving to Waterloo, Ontario area. I am wondering if it'd be possible for me to get a medical license even though I am not yet a Canadian citizen. I have ADD that I've had medical history with (may get it checked out once again to have a more recent history) and have athritis type chronic pain due to a knee injury. I think I could qualify but only if I found the right doctor and was able to as an American.
I plan on living in CA for the next couple years (10+ most likely) and am wondering how long it takes to be a citizen if I do need to become one to be medical.

Thanks ic and Canada!

You obviously can't become federally exempt until you are a canadian citizen. You can buy from most compassion clubs if you have a card from an american state though.

What do you mean federally exempt? A PM from another member told me that it is possible to get a liscense. Any more info on that Hulk?
Thanks

The medical marijuana program here is run by health Canada (federal govt), I am pretty sure you have to be a Canadian citizen and have a care card to even go to a doctors office. It's totally possible but you have to get citizenship first.

How would I go to a doctors office in Canada for any other issue then if I'm going to be living there the next 8 or so years. I feel like there has to be a way around it.

You DON'T have to be a Canadian Citizen to get your Health Canada MMAR Card! Steve Kubby got his while he was living in Canada and he NEVER became a Canadian Citizen

All that is needed is a dr to sign the HC forms. They will also need a specialist to concur as the new regulations require a DR signatur and a specialist.

Take Care and Peace

Thanks a ton marco! Thats what I wanted to hear.. Hopefully I will be able to get one in the next couple years.

How can you go to a doctor without a care card or citizenship? Can I got to California and get my card down there without being a citizen?

Are you living here for 8 years+ on a work visa or illegaly?

I was never trying to shut you down but I really don't see how this could work?
