Canada lowers veterans' medical cannabis reimbursement ceiling

Veterans Affairs Canada reduced its maximum reimbursement from C$8.50 to C$6 per dried gram or equivalent for products ordered on or after 1 April. Existing authorised quantities and eligible product forms remained unchanged; patients buying above the ceiling pay the difference. This is a change to a specific federal benefit, not a general cannabis price cap.[1]

Listed for context. No score change is recorded for Canada here.
