Which schedule would cannabis and its derivatives fall under?

Cannabis and its derivatives are classified under Schedule 2 in the context of Saskatchewan pharmacy law. This classification reflects the regulatory framework established by both federal and provincial legislation concerning controlled substances and drugs. Schedule 2 typically includes substances that are available to patients with a prescription but are subject to specific controls, which applies to cannabis as it is regulated under the Cannabis Act and the regulations surrounding its medical use.

This classification allows for access to cannabis for therapeutic purposes while ensuring that there are safety and monitoring mechanisms in place. Schedule 1, for instance, often pertains to substances that are deemed too risky for use even in medical contexts, whereas Schedule 3 and Schedule 4 usually include drugs that have fewer restrictions, which would not be appropriate for cannabis given its controlled nature due to historical regulation and safety concerns associated with its use.
