"The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA) found that Dr. Gaylord Wardell did not follow certain standards the College has in place for authorizing access to medical cannabis for someone.

Although a four-person CPSA Hearing Tribunal found that several charges against the doctor were not proven, they did find one charge amounted to unprofessional conduct.

That charge relates to section 4(b) of the CPSA’s Standard of Practice for Cannabis for Medical Purposes which states that a “regulated member completing a patient medical document must at a minimum see the patient every three months following stabilization”.

The Hearing Tribunal held a virtual hearing into the conduct of Dr. Gaylord Wardell on October 13 and 14, 2021. The College has yet to determine the penalty for this professional misconduct."

"The complaint against him was raised after a patient he had authorized to grow their own medical cannabis posted about it on social media. "
