Marijuana for Medical Purposes Regulations (MMPR)

The Marijuana for Medical Purposes Regulations (MMPR) is a Canadian government framework introduced in 2013 that legalizes and governs the use of cannabis for medical patients. It allows authorized individuals or healthcare providers to access cannabis through licensed producers, ensuring product quality and safety. The MMPR replaced previous rules, emphasizing regulated cultivation and distribution, and aims to provide legal, consistent access for patients with qualifying medical conditions. It also sets guidelines for possession limits and compliance, balancing patient needs with public health and safety considerations.
