Canada's top pharmacy chain prepares to sell medical marijuana

The face of natural medicine and natural remedies for a variety of ailments is quickly changing across both Canada and the United States. As one of Canada's top pharmacy chains is hoping to be the first in the country to legally sell over-the-counter medical marijuana. Pharmacy chain Shoppers Drug Mart confirmed last week that it had filed an application with the Canadian government earlier this year to be a licensed distributor, which would allow pharmacists to dispense cannabis at its hundreds of stores across the country. The chain is hopeful that the Canadian government will revise the current regulations to allow dispensing at the pharmacy. Currently, Canadian patients wanting medical marijuana can only receive it through the mail from licensed producers. Shoppers Drug Mart is hoping that dispensing it at pharmacies would help to increase its access, quality, safety, and security for the thousands of Canadians who use the natural medicine as part of their medication therapy. Medical cannabis is a natural medicine that is used by tens of thousands of Canadians for therapeutic purposes.

Over the past few years, marijuana use has been gaining public support. Medical and recreational pot usage has been legalized in several of the U.S. states. Medical cannabis or medical marijuana is cannabis and cannabinoids that are prescribed by doctors for their patients. The use of cannabis as a natural medicine has not been rigorously tested because of the restrictions and other governmental regulations. There is a limited amount of evidence that suggests cannabis can reduce symptoms of nausea and vomiting during chemotherapy, reduce chronic pain and muscle spasms, and improve appetite in people with HIV/AIDS.

Using marijuana as a natural medicine for a variety of ailments is nothing new. The Cannabis plant has a long history of medicinal use that dates back thousands of years across many cultures. Its current use, however, is still controversial. Medical cannabis as a natural medicine can be administered using a variety of methods, to include liquid tinctures, eating cannabis edibles, vaporizing or smoking dried buds, taking capsules, using lozenges, dermal patches or oral/dermal sprays

And while many people believe in the advantages of using medical marijuana to help with certain ailments and conditions there still has not been enough research done to know the short and long-term effects of the drug. Short-term use may increase the risk of both minor and major adverse effects. Some of the common side effects of using marijuana can include dizziness, vomiting, feeling tired, and hallucinations. Long-term effects of cannabis are still not clear. It should be noted that all drugs have a list of side effects that may or may not happen depending on the individual and it's always good to be aware of them before taking anything new. Medicalmarijuana.ca in Canada has been noted as a national reference resource for the use of medical cannabis by the Canadian AIDS Society, the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada, for doctors, hospice workers, health professionals and patients from all across Canada and around the world. The use of medical marijuana as a natural medicine should be a choice that people have, especially when it comes to helping alleviate health problems. It seems that it will only be a matter of time before medical marijuana as a natural medicine will be legal wherever you go. This is just one of the stories you will find on the CNN site.
