In September, Shoppers Drug Mart received a licence from Health Canada to purchase and store pre-packaged cannabis products from existing licensed producers.
"This is the first step in our journey to provide medical cannabis to our patients," Thomas said in an email.
Health Canada confirmed that Shoppers Drug Mart pharmacies cannot sell cannabis even through the mail, until the company receives a second Health Canada licence.
"There is no licence under the Cannabis Regulations that would allow Shoppers Drug Mart, or its subsidiary companies, to sell cannabis in its stores," Health Canada spokesperson Tammy Jarbeau said in an email.
