Hi and welcome to my 'Medical Marijuana' series of lessons. The objectives of this lesson are to learn how to register to legally grow your own medical marijuana or defer growing to someone, learn how many plants you can legally grow at one time, and where and how to find plants or seeds for purchase.
In order to legally grow your own medical marijuana you first need to meet with your health care practitioner to discuss whether marijuana is right for you. After this discussion, if you’re both in agreement, get the appropriate medical documentation from your HCP. They should have this form, but just in case I suggest bringing it with you to be completed during the meeting. A downloadable copy of this form can be found on my website, I’ll provide a link in the video description.
Once the medical documentation has been received, you’ll need to complete a registration application form with Health Canada. A downloadable copy of this form can also be found on my website as well. Find the link for this below. In order to be able to grow your own medical marijuana you must first meet several requirements. You need to be 18 years of age or older, ordinarily live in Canada, attest you haven’t been convicted of a marijuana related offense and not be registered more than once at any given time.
If you meet all the basic requirements, it is time to send the registration package to Health Canada. Make sure your package includes: (1) the medical document from your HCP (2) the registration form for Health Canada and (3) a signed and dated declaration from the person who owns the site where you intend to grow, consenting of the production if you don’t own the site, or it’s not your ordinary place of residence.
You’ll want to send the mail package to:
Health Canada
Registration Process
Address Locator: 0302B
Ottawa, ON K1A 0K9
If you plan to delegate the production of your marijuana to someone else, this process is slightly more complicated. To learn how to defer your marijuana production, watch my lesson “How to defer your medical marijuana production” which can be found on my website or YouTube channel.
Once you receive your registration certificate from Health Canada to produce your own medical marijuana, you can order your plants or seeds from a licensed producer. A downloadable list of licensed producers can be found on my website, find the link for it in the video description below.
To order your starting materials, you will need to register with a licensed producer of your choice. Follow the same steps outlined in my lesson “how to register for medical marijuana,” the only difference being you must replace your medical document with the registration certificate from Health Canada. Even if you have a designated producer, you will have to register with the licensed producer yourself to order plants and seeds. Your order can only be shipped to the address identified on your registration certificate as your production site or storage site.
Your registration certificate will state how many plants you are allowed to produce at a given time. Your order cannot be more than the total number of plants you are allowed. As a general rule, for each gram you are authorized to consume daily you are able to grow approximately 5 plants indoors, or 2 plants outdoors. You must state on your application to Health Canada whether you are producing indoors, outdoors or a mixture of both.
If you want to order seeds, you can order up to 3 seeds for each plant you are authorized to grow. So for instance if you can grow 7 plants, you can only order a maximum of 21 seeds. If your crop is not successful, you can order more plants or seeds at any time, so long as you do not have more plants at your site than the authorized number stated on your registration certificate.
After registering with a licensed producer and ordering your starting materials, you can also order an interim supply of cannabis oil or fresh or dried marijuana while you wait for your plants to mature. An interim supply is also available if something goes wrong with your production. The same rules for possession apply regardless though, which means a 30 day supply up to 150 grams.
As a side note, producers are required to maintain reasonable measures to ensure the security of their cannabis. This could mean installing a home alarm system, or locking the plants in a room, closet or cabinet.
In review, you need to be 18 years of age or older, ordinarily live in Canada, attest you haven’t been convicted of a marijuana related offense and not be registered more than once at any time in order to grow your own supply of medical marijuana. If you meet these basic requirements, you then need to send your registration package to Health Canada. If you plant to have someone grow for you, see my video ‘how to defer your medical marijuana production’. See the link to my website or my YouTube channel for this video. When you get your registration certificate from Health Canada, you need to register with a licensed producer of your choice by completing their registration forms and sending them your certificate.
