Serious question.

[Shooternow]

With insurance companies poised to cover medical cannabis for people with severe deceases, wouldn't someone just choose their favourite cannabis to ease their pain? Why would they bother with a pill that they have to smoke?

[Hammertown87]

DOCTORS WON'T GIVE PATIENTS WEED TO SMOKE FOR PAIN. THEY WANT TO SEE GOOD TRIALS DONE FIRST.

[Shooternow]

It's cannabis. If it's from a health canada approved medical cannabis producer why wouldn't a doctor prescribe it? Do you actually believe just because there's a trial done one ONE specific strain doctors will only prescribe that one product. Once cannabis is legal the stigma will be gone and you'll see more doctors prescribing it.

[4evergreen]

Everything in medicine is geared towards scientific research and clinical trials. Some doctors and insurance may support it a bit now but once the DIN is in place it's a given that they'll go to that. It won't be a question of stigma unless you are talking rec usage. Just ask StockNurse, ScienceGirl, or anyone who has a medical background.

[Stocknurse]

This is correct. There seems to be some confusion about Health Canada's role. Please review their website: https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/drugs-health-products/medical-use-marijuana/licensed-producers/consumer-information-cannabis-marihuana-marijuana.html Note: Cannabis is not an approved therapeutic product and the provision of this information should not be

[Dondeal88]

stocknurse did you say doctors are not prescribing medical cannabis without trials of DIN?? How do you explain the cannabis sales by companies like canopy, aphria and other ACMPR licence holders?? medical marijuana has been legal in canada for a couple of years and has been prescribed by medical practitioners ever since. the original 'serious question' has yet to be answered,, if sunlife

[Jgrodych]

1. Only drugs with a DIN can be advertised/promoted. 2. Your question only relates to Canada which is a tiny shred of the market.  What about USA, Europe, and the rest of the world? 3. Doctors, pharmacists, and insurance companies will prefer drugs with a DIN ONCE they become available.  The average joe won’t be able to get a prescription for a bag of dope a few years down the road

[Chuck03]

Sunlife is one insurance company of many in Canada. Doesn't include the states. Doesn't mean doctors will prescribe cannabis, although some have without a DIN. Sunlife's decision to include cannabis is not typical, and will be accepted by all insurance companies, and more doctors, with PPP001.

[madboxx]

dondeal88, lets not forget, that ppp001 is a unique ( their words) tri-blend pellet, with pot supplied from aphria, if you read and do some DD from the tetra site you may not have to ask questions. go to the site, read some news releases please. not all doctors will prescribe med pot, but if and when they do decide to research it, you can bet they will research something with a DIN number first

[charly90]

Bull eye Mad!

[Dondeal88]

unique tri-blend pellet of cannabis! it is cannabis! THC and CBD.. with a pipe! pls dont piss on me and tell me its raining..we all know it has incredible health benefits but thats not the point.  anyway you all make great points.. and I am more oprimistic after reading them. I just hope more insurance companies dont cover medical cannabis before the DIN. Cause the more they cover it the less

[madboxx]

make no mistake dondeal88, once a DIN number is approved, by both health Canada and the FDA, doctors WILL more than likely prescribe that first, not just an open prescription, tetra is targeting, honing a market, this will take time, and I have lots of time. GLTA

[Stocknurse]

What they are doing is considered a prescription by their regulatory bodies- see their webpages. The context for which this prescription is given is to allow “access”. What I am saying is that after legalization this changes- it’s not access that is needed ( except for children). If you read the proposed regulatory framework they talk about two or one system of regulating cannabis - I see it as

[ScienceGirl]

Shooternow you're entitled to your opinion, but I have to agree with 4evergreen regarding research backed treatments. I don't know a single Dr. (and I've worked with 100s, though I'm no an MD myself) who would prescribe something that isn't actually proven through a clinical trial. How many doctors do you see prescribing oregano or tea tree oil? It is legal, it is very good for

[Shooternow]

People are being prescribed medical cannabis RIGHT NOW. Doctors are prescribing it NOW! lol

[Brootal]

Common, we all know most of those doctors prescribing weed are straight up quacks. Real doctos won't go near it yet. I've to spoken to several and always hear the same answer.

[Chuck03]

Real doctors prescribe opioids?

[Brootal]

Yes, dont be obtuse. When someone is at the end of their life with cancer, they get pain meds.  This is why we are going for something smokable for these people. It works fast and there is zero risk of long term problems because there is no long term for these pour souls.  

[Chuck03]

Ummm, I agree? Did you just say obtuse?

[AtownMtl]

yeah smoking beside an oxygen tank makes a lot of sense!!

[Chuck03]

opioids with negative side effects makes a lot of sense too!!

[AtownMtl]

opioids end of life is not a bad thing it actually helps !

[Chuck03]

how??

[AtownMtl]

helps with the respiratory distress

[Chuck03]

The only thing I found on opioids affects on respiration: Overdosing on opioid painkillers or heroin can lead to respiratory depression, a slowing of breathing. At sufficient doses, respiratory arrest can deprive the brain and body tissues of oxygen. This can easily prove fatal, or result in debilitating organ system injury. When opioids attach to receptors in the brain, they can interact

[Chuck03]

If anything, opioids cause respiratory distress.

[AtownMtl]

they cause respiratory depression... not distress

[AtownMtl]

opioids are not all bad !! the way they are used prescribed by Md's are often questionable! but they do have some benefits and the same goes for Mj

[AtownMtl]

[Chuck03]

The first study had to do with mortality rate, and "Our finding that concurrent treatment with benzodiazepines and higher dose opioids was associated with increased mortality might be a true adverse effect or reflect more severe underlying disease that requires higher doses to relieve symptoms". So needing high doses (tolerance) to relieve symptoms, yet higher mortality rate. Sounds like

[AtownMtl]

dont agree with you !! 

[AtownMtl]

but respect your opinions

[Chuck03]

They weren't opinions. I was reading from the research you posted.

[Ripsanddips]

Call TBP and ask them yourself  that's what I did  amazing the type of info you get when you ask the right sources 

[av8tor42]

LOL...Maybe you should call me!!!...LOL the right sources...I guess if they all jump of a bridge you will be right behind them...there are only so many life preservers...hope you can tread water.

PP005 will be huge !! never been a fan of PP001...just my opinion

[Ripsanddips]

there is no pp005 without PP001 . Do you really think TBP started with a smokable because they thought that's what the market wants or did they do it because taking an un altered dried cannabis product through trials is much faster than a derivative and once you have the botanical approved all derivatives will be aswell ? You guys need to look at this through the eyes of pharma and not just

actually a lot of them are !! you still mad you averaged up in the 1.40's... nice move

[frewil11]

Ya but it is an alternative to an Opiate , wich i'm sure alot of people do not want to use for obvious reasons.  

[ItsLevels2This]

I dont think Tetra is banking on Canada's market so much as the American market. Once they get the DIN it wont matter if its federally legal inthe United States yet or not because with that DIN they can effectively penetrate the U.S market regardless of how the fed's view it by then. We will have a huge upperhand by tapping into that market before any other Canadian company can and from my
