Veterans Affairs Canada will reimburse up to 3 grams of dried cannabis per day (or its equivalent in cannabis oil) at a rate of $8.50 per gram. Veterans who require more than 3 grams per day must apply to VAC for exceptional status. Funding for vaporizers required for inhaled medical cannabis is also available.
When applying to VAC for coverage of medical cannabis, it can take up to a month for the approval process to be completed. During the waiting period, Shoppers will provide medical cannabis for the first 30 days (up to a maximum of 90 grams) at no additional cost. Our goal is to ensure your coverage is seamless and completely supported through the entire process.
