Medical marijuana recognized and reimbursed by insurance companies

Several countries strictly prohibit and punish all use of cannabis and marijuana. In Canada, these substances are used for medical purposes and their therapeutic virtues are recognized. Some Canadian insurers will even pay for the consumption of marijuana for medical purposes.

After Financière Sun Life (Sun Life Financial), It is now the turn of insurer Manuvie (Manulife) to position itself on this niche. In partnership with the pharmaceutical chain Shoppers Drug Mart, Manuvie will offer this guarantee to its customers as early as next autumn.
