The new service has been made possible due to a change in Manx legislation.
However, it will operate under a strictly defined criteria.
The chief executive of Medicann, Gary Whipp, spoke to Manx Radio's Simon Richardson:
Meanwhile, Karsons - the pharmacy that's been granted a licence to dispense medicinal cannabis on a year-long trial will work alongside the Sapphire Medical Health Clinic.
Sapphire already have 6,000 patients across their operations in the UK for chronic pain, anxiety and insomnia.
