RE:Why you need Shoppers for a prescription ?Currently very few Doctors are willing to prescribe medical cannabis but those who are, do not need the help of a pharmacist when it comes to prescribing. Have you ever heard of a Doctor telling there patients to talk to the pharmacist if they have any questions? That would be ridiculous. If you have questions, you ask your doctor. When you drop off a prescription at shoppers you never even deal with the pharmacist, it is always an assistant who asks if you have been there before and that is it. When I pick it up they ask me if I have any questions regarding the prescription. My answer? Well, if I had any questions I would have asked my Doctor. For certain drugs I could understand the pharmacists role as another gatekeeper for things like drug interactions, but with cannabis there are none? Lethal overdose? Never happened, never. Legal liability? Never been a concern for Health Canada before so why would it be now?
Why do I need shoppers?
