Membership and application

Only people suffering from illness who need to use cannabis strictly for medical purposes may apply for membership with the Quebec Compassion Center. We require the following:

1) A physician's statement of diagnosis stipulating that you do suffer from at least one of the conditions (or symptoms) treatable or alleviated with therapeutic cannabis. (download the pdf document)

2) Our membership application form. (download the pdf document)

Send us the two completed forms by either mail, fax, or drop them off at the center in person. Once we have received your request, we will first communicate with your doctor to make the essential verifications. It is possible that we ask your doctor for additional information pertaining to your medical condition.

Following this, we will get in contact with you to arrange a meeting.

*** People with valid Health Canada exemptions are automatically eligible for membership.

*** If you are an existing member of a recognized cannabis dispensary, it may be possible to have your file transeferred. (see our list)

Interested in obtaining a license to legally possess medical marijuana?

If you haven't already, you should discuss with your doctor the issue of medical marijuana.

In 2001, as a result of public and judicial pressure, Health Canada created the MMAR (Medical Marihuana Access Regulations).   Under this program, chronically and/or terminally ill patients may apply for a license which allows them to possess and/or produce their own medical cannabis.   It remains our goal to encourage and educate patients as to how they might legally grow their own supply of medicine.

Anyone currently wishing to grow their own supply of medical cannabis, or wanting it supplied for them legally, should obtain the forms from Health Canada and discuss it with their doctor.   If your doctor is recluctant, please contact us at the compassion center, so that we can help by sending one of our representatives to meet with your doctor.

The application form must be accompanied by two passport-sized photographs, to be used on an identification card issued to applicants authorized to possess. The card can be shown to a police officer as evidence that the person is permitted to possess marijuana.

For any information, business hours are 9AM to 5PM, Monday to Friday (eastern standard time)
