Cannabis Substitution Programs

Communities across Canada continue to face an overdose crisis caused by a toxic illicit drug supply and lack of access to evidence-based services. To save lives, volunteers have set up a number of support programs across Canada, including cannabis substitution programs that offer low-barrier cannabis to help people reduce their use of, or substitute for, other drugs. As a cannabis company, we’re concerned about the well-being of our fellow peers who use drugs and praise the work that these groups are doing.

Below are some of the Cannabis Substitution Programs across Canada:

SOLID OUTREACH Victoria

Started in December 2017, The program was initiated by SOLID Outreach as a community, peer-based approach to supporting the health and well-being of their community of people with lived/living experiences of substance use. The purpose of the program was to test cannabis’s potential as a substitution for more harmful substances, to improve health outcomes, and reduce the risk of overdose. It is run by peers for peers. SOLID approached cannabis suppliers to enlist support for the program, and to request a free supply of cannabis.
