Depending on the daily limit set in your medical document, you can order up to a quantity of dried marijuana or cannabis oil that does not exceed the equivalent of 150g of dried marijuana per order.

Our H2 and Decarb lines are a minimum of 5 grams per order, but our Time of Day line does not have a minimum order size.

Under the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (ACMPR), an individual can carry a maximum of 150 grams of dried marijuana, or 30 times their daily authorized amount at any one time, whichever is less.

For example, if an individual is prescribed 2 grams per day, they are limited to possessing a maximum of 60 grams (30 days x 2 grams) at one time. If you are prescribed 6 grams per day, you would only be able to carry the maximum of 150 grams, despite the fact that this would be less than your 30-day supply.

Under these regulations, Canadian have the option to purchase marijuana from one of the Health Canada licensed producers, such as Hydropothecary. It also allows Canadians to produce or designate someone to produce a limited amount of marijuana for them.

Decarboxylation is the process of applying heat to the dried cannabis, which activates cannabinoids in the plant. This process is also known as 'decarbing'. With Hydropothecary's Decarb product line we use a proprietary drying method and exacting scientific standards decarboxylate (decarb) the cannabis, which activates the cannabinoids (THC and CBD). After a fine milling process, the resulting product has the consistency of flour. It gives you more options and flexibility when it comes to consuming your medicine and provides an alternative to smoking, vaping and oils. Learn more about Decarb here.

Hydropothecary uses an independent, third party, Health Canada approved laboratory to test the potency of all its products. These results are listed on each label of your products.

At Hydropothecary, we have an extensive quality control process in place. From greenhouse, to lab, to delivery, we always ensure that your medicine is safe, and of the highest standard. To learn more read about Our Difference.

Hydropothecary treats all of it's products with gamma irradiation as we believe in nothing but the safest of products. Gamma irradiation is safe and is widely used. In fact, many of the items that you purchase in the grocery store are most likely treated with Gamma irradiation.

An exclusive offering in Canada, Decarb and the CannaCap delivery method offers you more flexibility when it comes to consuming your medicine. Learn more about what we have to offer here.

Think about it like coffee. A bud is the whole bean, requiring grinding (or milling) before it can be used. Milled refers to a coarse milling similar to top drip coffee. Fine milled is like espresso ground coffee, like the consistency of flour. We use fine milled marijuana in our Decarb product line for CannaCap.

Currently, Hydropothecary does not offer any edible products, but we do offer decarb CannaCap and our cannabis oil, Elixir. Click here to learn more about our product offerings.

Elixir is a medical cannabis peppermint oil sublingual spray. The product delivers a fresh peppermint spray of cannabis oil from a child resistant 15 ml spray bottle. The carrier oil is MCT peppermint oil blend. Elixir is available is two products:

Elixir CBD contains 50-60 mg/ml of CBD.

Elixir THC contains close to the maximum allowable THC level of 30 mg/ml, according to the ACMPR.

Elixir is activated and ready to use such as other oils. No dropper or oral syringe is required ensuring a discreet, easy and convenient method to consume your medicine.

Elixir sublingual (under the tongue and swallow) consumption results in an onset time of approximately 30 to 45 minutes. We suggest a waiting time of one to two hours before consuming more after initial dose.

A dose of Elixir varies amongst patients. Patients are free to create the experience they want by controlling the level of dosage to suit their lifestyle. Please remember to start low and go slow. Absorption can be felt typically from 30 to 45 minutes, and the effects can last from two to four hours. When using Elixir sublingual spray, be sure to follow dosing instructions provided by your doctor and increase your dose gradually.

Our Elixir oils are activated and ready to use. Spray desired number of sprays under the tongue, and hold for 30 to 60 seconds prior to swallowing. To achieve a consistent amount, fully depress the nozzle for each spray. At maximum depression, the spray nozzle is capable of delivering up to 150 sprays from the 15 ml bottle.

Cannabis oil can be sprayed under the tongue and swallowed, or mixed with food or drinks. For example, spray onto your ice cream, or blend it into a smoothie. When using Elixir sublingual spray be sure to follow dosing instructions provided by your doctor or clinic.

A dose of Elixir varies amongst patients, but we recommend starting with a low dose and slowly increasing if necessary.

Elixir CBD is capable of delivering approximately 5.5 mg* of CBD per spray.

Elixir THC is capable of delivering approximately 2.5 mg* of THC per spray.

To achieve the amounts of CBD and THC per spray noted above, patients will need to fully depress the spray nozzle. At maximum depression, the spray nozzle is capable of up to 150 sprays from the 15 ml bottle.

When using Elixir sublingual spray, be sure to follow dosing instructions provided by your healthcare professional.

To calculate how much cannabis oil a patient can order, use our equivalency factor. Each 15 ml bottle of Elixir has an equivalency factor of 1.5 g of dried cannabis.

Note: The equivalency factor can be used for purchasing decisions but should not be used for calculating dosages. Learn more here

Hydropothecary uses only the finest cannabis to make its cannabis oil. Bud derived dried cannabis is processed through a state of the art supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) extraction procedure that uses only naturally occurring food grade CO2. Hydropothecary uses no harsh solvents or any other co-solvents. After extraction the cannabis resin is mixed with high grade carrier oils that are fully tested before use. Nothing else is added, only cannabis extract and the carrier oils. Each lot of finished cannabis oil is tested to ensure the exact cannabinoid levels and that there is no microbiological or pesticide contamination.

Elixir uses a combination of MCT peppermint carrier oil blend. ‘MCT’ stands for Medium Chain Triglycerides. Our MCT oil is derived from natural sources and is very often used in foods, pharmaceuticals, and nutritional supplements. MCT oil is highly permeable in the human body, which will greatly aid in the absorption of CBD, THC, and other cannabinoids.

Carrier oils are used to support digestion and to allow for more precision in the use of cannabis as a medical aid. We choose to use peppermint oil as a carrier oil because it has been used traditionally to help with digestive tract pain. A recent scientific literature review found evidence for peppermint oil in decreasing the duration, frequency, and severity of pain in patients suffering from undifferentiated functional abdominal pain (see Anheyer, Dennis, et al. "Herbal Medicines for Gastrointestinal Disorders in Children and Adolescents: A Systematic Review." Pediatrics (2017)).

Elixir cannot be vaporized, but if this is your preferred method of ingestion, try our Time of Day or H2 product lines.

Easy to use, discreet and convenient, Elixir provides an alternative method of consuming your medicine. At home, on the go or anywhere, it fits with any patient’s lifestyle.

Elixir is a sublingual spray, which typically sublingual absorption can be felt from 30 to 45 minutes, and the effects can last from two to four hours.

Elixir is delivered in a spray of fresh peppermint, which in addition to freshening breath, is known to offer health benefits. Peppermint has traditionally been used to help with digestive tract pain and a recent scientific literature review found evidence of peppermint oil decreasing the duration, frequency, and severity of pain in patients suffering from undifferentiated functional abdominal pain (see Anheyer, Dennis, et al. "Herbal Medicines for Gastrointestinal Disorders in Children and Adolescents: A Systematic Review." Pediatrics (2017)).

Low volume might be indicated by a change in the spray output. The spray may also feel different in the patient's mouth, which could also be an indicator that the bottle is nearly empty. You may also shake the bottle to estimate the level of contents.

Elixir should be stored in a cool, dry place. Though Elixir comes in a child-resistant bottle, it is recommended to keep this out of reach.

An equivalency factor dictates how much cannabis oil in milliliters (ml) is equivalent to dried cannabis in grams (g).

Each 15 ml spray bottle of Elixir has an equivalency factor of 1.5 g of dried cannabis, or a ratio of 10:1. Note: The equivalency factor can be used as a guideline for purchasing decisions but should not be used for calculating dosages.

Extraction is the process of removing major cannabinoids such as THC and CBD from the dried cannabis.

Supercritical extraction is the process of putting cannabis under a large amount of pressure, exposing the cannabis to carbon dioxide (CO2) in a state that is similar to both a liquid and gas. This exposure allows for the extraction of the active components in cannabis such as THC, CBD and terpenes. Bud derived from dried cannabis is processed at Hydropothecary through a state of the art super critical CO2 extraction procedure that uses only naturally occurring food grade CO2.

Hydropothecary uses no harsh solvents or any other co-solvents. After extraction the cannabis resin is mixed with high grade carrier oils that are fully tested before use. Nothing else is added, only cannabis extract and the carrier oils. Each lot of cannabis oil is tested to ensure the exact cannabinoid levels and that there is no microbiological or pesticide contamination. Supertcritical extraction is the best way to get an end product that is clean and pure.

Elixir is delivered in a spray of natural fresh peppermint, as a result of peppermint oil used as a carrier oil.

Hydropothecary does not currently sell edibles, as we are not authorized to do so, according to the ACMPR. However, Elixir is fully activated and ready to consume. No need to heat or smoke. It may also be incorporated into your food or beverages such as ice cream or a smoothie. Hydropothecary also offers another product line, Decarb, which is also fully activated and ready to consume in your food or beverages. Visit our products page here to learn more.
