One of the Canadian companies with a mandate to help is Abba Medix, an online medical cannabis marketplace, which carries high-quality products provided by different LPs—including strains grown by MTL Cannabis, specifically for veterans.
A: We need to remember and honour those who lost their lives in service to Canada, but also the veterans who came back with injuries, pain, and mental health challenges.
Glen Coyle, a retired corporal is our veteran advocate across Canada House and Abba Medix and keeps us focused on what is best for veterans.
A: We worked with InPlanta , veterans and our clinics years ago to breed Veteran Kush and Vet Star Day that work well to provide relief for mental health and pain.
We have many staff who are veterans or are connected through spouses or families to the military, and most of our clinics are located close to bases.
A: While it’s great that some veterans have coverage, there is a whole other process they must go through and we have to bill for reimbursement on their behalf.
It’s important veterans do therapy and other programs in conjunction with medical cannabis and we help direct them to mental health professionals with experience in working with veterans.
Finally, while aspects of the legal market are excellent like testing, overall, there is still too much red tape and unnecessary limitations or demands which makes it hard for LPs to best serve patients and grow their business.
