A pair of Ontario doctors is planning a brave foray into the perilous field of marijuana medicine: a new clinic dedicated solely to assessing people for possible cannabis prescriptions, where patients could also pick up their dose of pot.
Dr. Danial Schecter said he has long been convinced of the benefits of the drug, and has the expertise most of his colleagues lack in assessing and prescribing patients.
Yet even as a website promotes the Cannabinoid Medical Clinic and a potential location in the Toronto suburbs, he and his partner have decided to move slowly on the project. With another, unrelated physician facing multiple criminal charges for marijuana-prescribing activity, advisors have warned them to tread carefully.
"At the moment, we're reticent to go full steam ahead ... until we can get our lawyers to be more confident that we won't be putting our licences and careers and livelihoods in jeopardy," said Dr. Schecter, based in Midland, Ont. "If physicians are seen making lots of money off of cannabis, that's not going to look good."
