ACMPR licence

Grow your own medical cannabis, legally.

Since 2016, the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (ACMPR) let authorized Canadians grow their own cannabis. Coverleaf guides you from prescription to your Health Canada licence.

What is the ACMPR licence?

The ACMPR allows a person holding a medical cannabis prescription to register with Health Canada to produce a limited amount of cannabis for their own medical needs — indoors, outdoors, or both.

To register, you first need a medical document (prescription) from a licensed practitioner. That's the first step Coverleaf helps you take.
