In honour of Medical Cannabis Awareness Week one of our founders, Niall Ivers is highlighting the critical importance of a safe, legal framework for prescribing medical cannabis. Awareness leads to education, and education ensures safety. A recent study, highlighted in the Metro, revealed alarming contaminants like mould and E. coli in street cannabis. No one should have to risk their health when safe, regulated alternatives exist. It’s been six years since the law changed, granting patients legal access to medical cannabis. At Cantourage Clinic, we’re here to help you take control of your healthcare, safely and confidently. Let’s keep raising awareness so everyone understands their options and feels empowered. ???? #MedicalCannabis #PatientEmpowerment #HealthcareSafety #CantourageClinic

#informationalmoments EUCLID OHIO HAS BANNED ADULT USE SALES - in Cannabis news Euclid, Ohio has taken the stance to not sell adult use recreational cannabis in their jurisdiction. This is a big change to what's going on in the state! They do currently sell medical cannabis to patients and have been selling medical since the opening of medical sales. This really does not seem fair to the dispensaries that sell products in this area. One in particular is @nectardispensary in Euclid. They actually have carried some of our products and have an amazing staff.! In the comments please put your opinion on this change in Euclid, Ohio. When the people vote does their voice really matter if a community can change the law? #euclid #informationalmoments #greenideasandwellness #advocatingwiththebestinthebiz #adultuse #patientfocused #ohio #locallyowned #cannabisnews #cannablogger #instablog #dispensary
