Cannabis Communication Services

The Canadian Cannabis Communications Group (CCCG)

Although cannabis has been used for thousands of years, its therapeutic benefits are still new to the majority of physicians and patients. A 2013 landmark decision by the Canadian government granting licenses to companies to legally produce and sell medical cannabis gave rise to the creation of a highly competitive industry with global ambitions.

The medical marijuana industry set the stage for the legal production, distribution and sale of recreational marijuana targeted for July 1, 2018. Anticipation of a rapidly expanding marijuana sector has led to important developments: it forces a conversation on the role and future of cannabis that is meaningful to Canadian consumers, and it raises issues about access, oversight, safety and how best to educate the public.

These events unfold as Health Canada declares prescription opioids overdoses a public health crisis. Chronic pain is the epidemic within the epidemic, with physicians still relying on opioid therapy given the lack of data on the strength, dose, and how best to administer cannabinoids. Meanwhile, studies suggest that the public is moving toward accepting medical cannabis as a less addictive alternative.
