Family member keeps insisting that prescribing controlled substances over a video call 'can't possibly be fully legal' and must be some kind of grey area that hasn't caught up with proper regulation yet. Is telehealth ADHD prescribing actually fully legal and regulated in Canada, or is there some truth to that skepticism?

Had a similar conversation with a skeptical relative, showed them my provider's actual college registry listing which specifically noted their status as active for both in-person and virtual practice, that visual confirmation did more to convince them than any explanation from me did.
