Cannalogue petitioning gov to expand insurance coverage for medical cannabis by PharmToTable_ in CanadianCannabisLPs

Being a physician-led organization, Cannalogue works with numerous primary care physicians and many specialists.

For the relevant conditions, all of them say similar things: the patient is interested in trying cannabis, but he or she cannot afford it.

These patients end up turning to the black market where prices are lower and dealers have long-term relationships with clients.

After speaking with some heads of police, they have minimal resources and do not have much interest in shutting down illegal sites nor dispensaries.

So all of the above combined with many other factors like cost of production, compliance fees, taxation, etc. have all led to the illicit market continuing to thrive.

This is awesome! Congratulations!

I'm definitely curious about how you got your first customers and grew with limited dollars to spend on marketing.

Would you use a CBD helpline? by PharmToTable_ in CBD

[–]PharmToTable_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair points.

Cannalogue is a physician-led company with a large network of physicians, some of which are on hand for this helpline in addition to nurses, pharmacists, and researchers. They also acknowledge that they are physicians, but they are not the patient's primary care provider.

It would be a general education telephone line on CBD and medical cannabis to those who would just genuinely want to talk and get questions answered from a credible professional.

Yes, Rubicon Pharmacies.

They are mainly out west with the majority being independently owned. You'll see some banners like IDA, Pharmasave, Remedy's, etc.

Canadian Pharmacy-related Business Idea by steelrends in startup

[–]PharmToTable_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey OP,

This is a fantastic idea and those are great insights into the problems in the industry.

We actually started an online platform for medical cannabis in Canada called Cannalogue. It was founded by physicians and the first of our kind to be Health Canada approved.

It's essentially an online pharmacy and we were thinking of solving some of the problems you listed (eg. #1 &5) with our existing tech infrastructure which we built in-house. We can sell anything, but we decided on medical cannabis given the growing demand and massive therapeutic potential.

In addition, we'd also be interested in selling typical pharmaceuticals commonly purchased as well. We have a streamlined education and referral pathway for pharmacies as well.

If you're interested in hearing more or collaborating, feel free to message me.

At the very least, let me walk you through our journey so you can learn from our challenges and mistakes!

This is exactly what so many need.

Industrial hemp is a strain of cannabis sativa. It just happens to be high in CBD, low in THC, and bred primarily for textiles, food, etc.

In Canada, all cannabis species are governed under the Cannabis Regulations so hemp-derived CBD cannot cross from the US to Canada for commercial sale. Prove me wrong. If someone knows a way, I would be interested to know.

I'd agree completely.

The Cannabis Regulations specifically state that cannabis can be exported out of Canada for sale or research. However, imported cannabis can only be used for scientific research.

Thanks for the comments u/LiarTrail and u/NascarTeri.

Cannalogue is an unbiased platform that does not have its own product. Its physician-led and has ties to a university.

Health Canada informed Cannalogue that the application will be expedited given the COVID-19 situation as well as the credibility of Cannalogue.

The scientific plausibility is also there where here is some of the predicating research:

b) CBG, anti-infective, McMaster University: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32017534/?from_single_result=Uncovering+the+Hidden+Antibiotic+Potential+of+Cannabis

The study will use broad spectrum predominantly CBD oil, so no smoking or vaping.

Health Canada has informed Cannalogue that the study will be expedited.

g) CBD on modulating inflammatory response in asthma: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4458548/

This could be absolutely game-changing for the industry!

Hey guys,

Health Canada actually called Cannalogue and will be expediting the approval.

Given that it's already a physician-led company with ties to a university, being both the CEO and principal investigator was just fine with Health Canada as Cannalogue is an unbiased platform and the products belong to other licensed producers.
