Description: The Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (ACMPR) enable accessibility and affordability by providing individuals who need cannabis for medical purposes with three options by which to access cannabis: through commercial licensed producers, by producing it themselves (personal production) or by designating someone to produce it for them (designated production).
The ACMPR substantively incorporate the regulatory framework established under the MMPR for commercial licensed producers and the one established under the former Marihuana Medical Access Regulations (MMAR) for personal production and designated production.
While the former MMPR and MMAR restricted access to dried marihuana, the ACMPR also allow for the production and possession of cannabis in forms other than dried, further to the June 2015 SCC decision in R. v. Smith.
Further changes from these previous regulatory regimes generally stem from the harmonization of these systems with each other, and from the need to accommodate the expansion of cannabis products permitted. The most notable changes from the MMPR/MMAR regimes include the introduction of a new source of starting materials for personal and designated production; and an expanded role of the registered person in designated production — meaning that a registered person can now also take part in production activities, which were previously only conducted by the designated producer.
Consequential amendments to the Narcotic Control Regulations and the New Classes of Practitioners Regulations have been made. The Cannabis Exemption (Food and Drugs Act) Regulations replace the Marihuana Exemption (Food and Drugs Act) Regulations, which are repealed. The MMPR are repealed.
