Ya sweet, and they just upped my coverage to 4k a year......yeah I can buy LP weed now. I'll take 4k's worth please Sunlife.....or I'll trade you for a 3,899 dollar chq to grow my own poison free.

Just waiting for legalization... Promised the wife I would keep my nose clean until then, stuck by me through all my stretches in jail and have a 9 year old I don’t wanna miss anymore of his life. Made a lot of dumb mistakes in my life, none more than being away from my family for too long. Can’t get that shit back. Fuck do I miss growing though.

Starting March 1, plan sponsors will have the option to add medical cannabis coverage to extended health-care plans, ranging from $1,500 to $6,000 per covered person per year.

Sun Life says its medical cannabis coverage will be available for specific conditions and symptoms including cancer-related nausea, rheumatoid arthritis pain and palliative care.

Depends on which plan they choose. The upper tier plan covers up to 6 k. The other $1500. I wonder which will be offered most often by employers.....
