Get your ACMPR License to Grow Medical Marijuana at Home

On October 17th, 2018 the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations was officially renamed the Cannabis Act of Canada. All forms, policies, prices and procedures remain the same as before. This was a name change only, and growers in Canada still mostly refer to the program as the ACMPR which dates back to August 2016. Like the earlier one, the new Act covers how to obtain cannabis and related products and possession limits.

Cannabis Growing Canada can have your prescription in less than a week. Health Canada, on the other hand, likes to take their time with the actual permit. A medical marijuana license to grow from Health Canada can take anywhere from 2 weeks to a few months to be approved.

There is no cost for an ACMPR Canada licence to grow from Health Canada. Any costs incurred will be set by the consultants you choose to help you put together your medical files and guide you through the process. Doctors can not legally charge you for a personal use production license in Canada.

The marihuana for medical purposes regulations state that you must meet the requirements of the Cannabis Regulations and have a prescription from a medical doctor. A nurse practitioner may also write a Health Canada cannabis prescription in some instances but it’s advised to always use a certified medical doctor registered with the College of Physicians who specializes in how to grow medical marijuana. The prescription determines the amount of cannabis users can grow.

If you are planning on growing medical marijuana legally using the Health Canada personal use production program, you need to follow the guidelines to be able to guarantee approval. Always use a medical doctor instead of a nurse practitioner and always make sure your registration application forms are filled out carefully. Health Canada doesn’t approve or deny your application. You simply register with Health Canada for your medical cannabis cultivation license.

Simply put, this is a personal use production license from Health Canada. This means you are permitted for medical cannabis cultivation and allowed to produce a limited number of medical weed plants in your home, outdoors on your property or other location. You can grow yourself or designate someone to grow instead of buying from a licensed producer. Your license also acts as proof you can possess in public a 30-day supply of dried cannabis. This is not a license to sell cannabis.

The MMAR license was Canada’s original medical marijuana cultivation license. It has been through a couple of different name changes, but as of October 17th, 2018 it is known as a personal use production license under the Cannabis Act. If you have an MMAR it is important that you upgrade it to the latest permit.

There is no limit on how many plants you can grow with an ACMPR Canada permit. Your health care provider will prescribe you a certain amount of grams per day to be used for your symptoms, and Health Canada calculates your plant numbers based on this. The higher the prescription, the more medical marihuana plants you can grow or designate a person to grow. We have written this article to explain in greater detail.
