What are the expectations for follow-up for my patients on medical cannabis?

Posted July 8, 2020

Depending on the patient situation, medical history and clinical condition, the appropriate follow-up interval may vary from patient to patient. It is expected that physicians will assess risks for development of a cannabis use disorder at baseline and continue to monitor for this and safety of ongoing medical cannabis use periodically, at least once every six months. Refer to CPSA’s Cannabis for medical purposes standard of practice and related Advice document for more information.
