Shoppers Drug Mart has been granted a licence to sell medical marijuana online.

The pharmacy will be allowed to sell dried and fresh cannabis, as well as plants, seeds and oil. The company website says that patients  with a valid medical document will soon be able to purchase a wide selection of medical cannabis products  from Shoppers. The pharmacy has said it has no  interest in producing medical cannabis, but the licence is required in order to sell the product to patients. Under current regulations for medical pot, the only legal distribution method is by mail order from licensed producers direct to patients.
