Health Canada is cracking down on alleged abuse of the medical cannabis access via the personal and designated production program.

From Jan. 1, 2022, through Sept. 30, 2022, roughly 732 registrations for the personal and designated production program were refused or revoked.
In the previous year, that figure was 227, while some 154 registrations were refused or revoked in 2020.
