FAQ

It depends on what cannabis product and how much you use. Cannabis products typically contain two main cannabinoids THC and CBD. The THC can cause intoxication at higher doses. Everyone has a different tolerance to THC but as long as you don’t take too much THC based of your own tolerance, then you won’t experience the “high”.
There are plenty of strategies to reduce the risk of intoxication. You can use a product that doesn’t have THC or very low amounts of THC. Talk to a knowledgeable healthcare professional at Apothecare to learn more.
All products recommended by Apothecare have undergone rigorous testing and have met the standards for sale in Canada.
In an attempt to limit no-show visits and improve accessibility to appointment times, credit card information will now be required to book all visits. The credit card information will be stored in a 256 bit encrypted, PCI compliant software (Stripe and Payfirma, through Jane App) equivalent to that of banking technology, and will not be visible to staff. The card will only be used in the event of missed appointments or late cancellations.
We’re aware that wait times are long and appointment spots are limited. A late cancellation or missed visit not only leaves a hole in our practitioners’ day but negatively impacts appointment availability for our other patients who need care. As a result, we kindly request 24 hours’ notice for all appointment changes or cancellations. This allows us to offer the appointment spot to other patients waiting for visits.
We’re also aware things happen! Please call us at 1-800-880-HEAL (4325) if you feel your credit card has been improperly charged.
