Massage Therapy Chains and Medical Cannabis? with guest James
James is a RMT who was employed at Massage Addict pre- COVID and as many RMTs in Ontario likely already know, Massage Addict has a new partnership with Shoppers Drug Mart allowing their members a discount on their medicinal cannabis prescriptions. Is this a perk for Massage Addict members or a slap in the face to Massage Addict employees? James feels the later to be true. Massage Therapists know it is out of scope to recommend any type of prescription or over the counter medication. A typical conversation with your RMT regarding medical cannabis would likely end by the RMT suggesting you speak to your doctor. The problem that James and other RMTs are having with this partnership is it appears to the public that we are endorsing medical cannabis. Regardless of your views on cannabis use, James and his colleagues are not happy about this and what implications it has for our profession. Listen to his thoughts on what kind of slippery slope we are headed down.
