The draft Marijuana

policy has been approved
by Council for external
consultation. The draft
policy sets out the College’s expectations for
physicians who prescribe
dried marijuana under
the federal Marihuana for
Medical Purposes Regulations (MMPR). These expectations are grounded
in the principles of medical professionalism set
out in the Practice Guide,
and take into account the

organizations and other
health professionals.
