Shoppers Drug Mart was approved by Health Canada to become a licensed producer of medical cannabis in 2018. The company did not want to be involved in the producing of medical marijuana, but preferred to hook-up with prominent establish LP’s, some of these include:

Aurora Cannabis
Broken Coast
CanniMed
MedReleaf
Starseed
Tilary Canada
WeedMD Rx

This business venture gives the patient registered with Shoppers Drug Mart the ability to obtain products from more than one LP. This is a positive and productive move for the company and the marijuana patient. Before the licensing of Shoppers Drug Mart as an LP, the patient was limited to being able to purchase only from the LP that they had registered with. The partnership with other LP's allows the registered marijuana patient a more extensive array of products available for them.

Patients who register with Shoppers, for their medical marijuana needs, can expect to receive high-quality products that meet the safety stands required, with the advantage of obtaining their medicine from numerous different licensed suppliers. The pharmacy is also permitted to sell plants, seeds, oil, and fresh/dried cannabis.

The company provides an excellent customer care team, that is specialized in helping to select the correct product that is needed for your medical concern.
