Reporting Adverse Reactions to Cannabis (marihuana, marijuana) Products

Reporting adverse reactions associated with the use of cannabis and cannabis products is
important in gathering much needed information about the potential harms of cannabis
and cannabis products for medical purposes. When reporting adverse reactions, please
provide as much complete information as possible including the name of the licensed
producer, the product brand name, the strain name, and the lot number of the product
used in addition to all other information available for input in the adverse reaction
reporting form. Providing Health Canada with as much complete information as possible
about the adverse reaction will help Health Canada with any follow-ups or actions that
may be required.

Any suspected adverse reactions associated with the use of cannabis and cannabis products
(dried, oils, fresh) for medical purposes should be reported to the Canada Vigilance
Program by one of the following three ways:

1. Report online
2. Call toll-free at 1-866-234-2345
