Medicinal Cannabis Program
Medical Marijuana for Chronic Pain
The Toronto Poly Clinic Medical Cannabis program began in 2013. With a focus in chronic pain management, we have helped a number of patients learn how to utilize medical cannabis in a safe, and responsible way. Our program offers regular physician guided prescriptions, as well as patient education. We strive to make the registration process as easy as possible for our patients. We understand that navigating this industry can be overwhelming. Our easily accessible educational support staff, in combination with frequent patient follow up visits are what sets our program apart from the rest.
