In Canada you can apply for a license to have marhuana.
There are basically three things that you need.
1. An illness that is alleviated by marihauana (or evidence it does alleviate for those who haven't tried it.)
2. Forms from Health Canada's web site. There are two kinds of forms, one that you don't technically need (A release form created by the Canadian Medical Protective Association CMPA) that is located on the CMPA's Webs site, and the rest are tailored to your specific situation and are located on Health Canada's web site.
3. A frank discussion with your doctor or specialist. Your doctor should help you with harm reduction. Make sure they know the pharmacology is listed on Health Canada's web site.

If there are other medications that can alleviate your symptoms and your doctor/you believes the harm of those medications is better than medical marihuana, than go for it. Marihuana is as cheap or cheaper illegally (not that I am suggesting you buy it illegally but maybe your efforts are better spent trying to legalize it). Medical Marihuana is not covered under most or all drug plans (if anybody knows of any besides Veterans affairs (unconfirmed) let me know please) so if you can get drugs that are covered by a drug plan to alleviate your symptoms than your better off going that route anyway. Your doctor may be uncomfortable with the conversation of Medical Marihuana but remember, health canada pharmacology and harm reduction
