Shoppers Drug Mart was granted a medical cannabis producer licence in September after applying in October. The company said that they won’t be producing medical cannabis, however that licence is required to sell the product to patients.

The only legal distribution method for medical cannabis under Health Canada’s regulations is by mail order from licensed producers.
