The way it works with Medicare in Canada is that most doctor visits/tests are covered by the government (see: taxpayers).

So say I have the flu, I can walk into an after hours clinic, see a doctor, government has just paid that visit.

If I have to then fill a prescription from the doctor, that falls on my individual insurance. In my case, group insurance through my employer. Which... for the majority of things is great, but may be a bit behind the times when it comes to cannabis being legal in Canada for medical use if approved.

Brownies? Yuck!

It's an oral spray yes... they begin you on 4 sprays per day, and you work your way up. Same deal as the plant pretty much, only in a mist.

I wish they'd cover it. Hell, they have no trouble tossing out bucks for oxycontin.
