In this commentary, I describe how, through both advocacy and the generation of new knowledge, community-based medical cannabis dispensaries have contributed to the broader dialogue regarding the legal and safe provision of medical cannabis in Canada. By employing an embodied health movement framework (Brown et al., 2004), this analysis highlights the role of dispensaries in creating new knowledge, challenging existing practices, and advancing their agenda to legitimise cannabis as a therapeutic substance and offer an alternative model for its provision. Although the community-based, holistic approach that dispensaries offer has not been adopted by the Canadian government, dispensaries have achieved success in being recognized as credible stakeholders and experts in the ongoing debate on the legal provision of medical cannabis in Canada.
在这篇评论中，我描述了基于社区的医用大麻药房如何通过宣传和新知识的产生，为加拿大关于合法且安全地提供医用大麻的更广泛对话做出贡献。通过运用一种体现健康运动的框架（布朗等人，2004年），本分析突出了药房在创造新知识、挑战现有做法以及推进其将大麻合法化作为一种治疗物质并提供替代供应模式的议程方面所发挥的作用。尽管加拿大政府尚未采纳药房所提供的基于社区的整体方法，但药房在加拿大医用大麻合法供应的持续辩论中已成功被视为可信的利益相关者和专家。
