Medical cannabis leaders launch Sora Care, a cross-Canada virtual medical cannabis clinic to provide online access to expert medical cannabis physicians, nurses and educators
OTTAWA, ON, Oct. 3, 2023 /CNW/ - Canadian pioneers in the medical cannabis field are excited to announce the launch Sora Care, a virtual online Medical Cannabis clinic that will provide Canadians coast-to-coast with online access to physicians, nurses and educators, all with expertise in Medical Cannabis.
As Canada approaches the 5-year anniversary of cannabis legalization on October 17th, many patients, clinicians, and advocates are frustrated by the remaining barriers to access medical cannabis.
A recent survey of 5,744 Canadians who access cannabis for medical purposes found that over half of those surveyed access cannabis without medical authorization. Those who do not have medical authorization are more likely to access cannabis from regulated stores or the unregulated market. Canadians also report being less likely to speak or seek information from healthcare professionals than they did prior to 2018.
"In many ways, access to medical cannabis and education has gone backwards since legalization. Every day we hear from patients who are turned away from their physicians and pharmacists and directed to access cannabis products from recreational sources" said Erin Prosk, President of Sora Care and Santé Cannabis, Quebec's leading medical cannabis clinic since 2014. "This would not be acceptable for any other drug class. It is with this urgency that we have launched Sora Care, a cross-Canada virtual clinic where patients, physicians, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals can find dependable, high-quality medical cannabis support delivered at no-fee."
Sora Care provides special services including personalized treatment plans, insurance coverage assessment, veteran care and ongoing monitoring. Healthcare professionals can refer patients to the service, or patients can reach out to request an appointment.
"We have a responsibility as physicians to ensure that patients have access, support and supervision for their cannabis use to maximize potential benefits and minimize risk of harm." Dr. Danial Schecter serves as the Medical Director of Sora Care and is a leading medical cannabis clinician with more than 15 years of experience. "I'm excited to be part of this ground-breaking venture to improve outcomes for any Canadians who are seeking guidance from expert cannabinoid physicians."
