How many grams will I be prescribed?

Your practitioner decides, based on your history with cannabis and what you tell them during the review.

As a general guide, authorizations commonly land in these ranges:

• 1 to 2 grams per day for people new to cannabis
• 3 to 5 grams per day for regular consumers across formats such as flower, edibles, vapes, and topicals
• 6 to 10 grams per day at the higher end

VAC covers up to 3 grams per day under a standard authorization. Between 3 and 10 grams per day is assessed case by case with physician authorization.

Be straightforward with your practitioner about your experience with cannabis. The amount is their call, and it can be adjusted later.
