Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations (MMPR)

The Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations (MMPR) was a Canadian law introduced in 2014 to oversee the legal production and distribution of medical cannabis. Under these regulations, licensed producers are authorized to cultivate, sell, and distribute marijuana exclusively to registered patients and healthcare providers. The MMPR replaced earlier rules, streamlining access for patients with certain medical conditions. It established strict quality standards, security measures, and a controlled system to ensure safe, consistent supply of medical cannabis while maintaining regulatory oversight. The MMPR aimed to improve quality control, reduce illegal sales, and facilitate research and medical use.
