Recent claims by two B.C. companies about being licensed to sell cocaine and other substances, statements they later retracted, represent a communications 'failure' that regulators will want to prevent, a Canadian psychedelic advocate and business consultant says.

later retracted their statements and clarified that they are not allowed to sell these, or any of the other controlled substances they were granted a licence for, to the general public.

"I don't think it's a knock-out punch, but I do suspect that the regulator will likely take this back and have a look at some of the wording and the communication around their own policy," Kydd said.
