Doctors being told the norm is 5 grams a day by H/C

I saw a video last night on facebook where he spoke about a recent sit down meeting with john conroy for his opinion of the new system. One of the things Jason mentioned was that doctors are now being contacted by H/C and are being advised that the normal standard being between 5-10 grams a day.

Those of you who hold MMAR permits may have cause for worry when trying to change into the new program and are then advised by the prescribing doctor that you can't have your 20 grams a day but you can have say 5 or 10gpd. How does that sit with you?

I myself phoned around Canada asking prescription clinics and was told the same thing so I can verify that what Jason is saying about Doctors now; being advised about what H/C considers as the norm.

If you are worried about your script being reduced, you can stay in the MMAR so long as no changes are needed such as change of address etc. You're injunction keeps you going indefinitely and possibly that may mean grandfathered til you die? Or Health Canada may advise that they're ready to take in all the MMAR holders and that we should now start sending in applications in masse.

I have found two clinics so far that won't reduce MMAR amounts I am told. They are Do No Harm and is MRCRI? I keep typing the letters incorrectly so do a double check somewhere else.

I have the forms here for Do no Harm if you are interested in checking them out. I'm not accepting what these gatekeepers are doing. Also out of curiosity I would like to know from anyone here if nurse practitioners are allowed to prescribe cannabis? They should be!

i can't see them trying to dictate the grams amount but to a Dr who doesn't know much, that might sound like a lot if he/she are against it, they'll give you a minimum "just to see"
i bet when you go back and haven't grown a 3rd arm or been thrown in jail for being some kind deviancy, they will hopefully up it. i would go into the Dr with a ton of paperwork. especially if you want to use oil. a gram a day is about 15 g a day in dried

Wait, are you guys smoking more than 5 grams a day? That's so fucking much. I vape and I spend maybe 10 grams a month... If I'm really vaping a lot.

smoking?? we are patients and use it in many forms.
if you do edibles, 5 g a day won't do much.
if you're only smoking to get high, 5 g a day is a lot. if you use it in the different forms, it's not a lot at all.
1 g of oil used for pain relief is the equivalent of 15 g of dried cannabis. that's not a way out there dose either.

its not really funny ,that the same people who didn't believe in its use only a couple of years ago,
are in charge of handling the prescriptions, of people seeking to try mmj, to offset use of other pharma products.
1 gram a day and all cbd....
could anyone here have given up a opiate prescription, to control pain on that kind of mmj prescription?
