B.C. cannabis growers say the recently tabled Cannabis Act final report was a step forward, but that more needs to be done to address the many challenges faced by the industry.
He said some of the recommendations, if implemented by government, will have major positive impacts on Canadian and B.C. cannabis businesses. This includes allowing pharmacies to dispense medical cannabis, something that is not currently permitted. Instead, individuals need to order medical cannabis online from a licensed producer.
“I think that’s quite significant.… Currently, cannabis cultivators in Canada are not profitable, and that’s because the government is making more money than the businesses themselves,” he said. “We’re really happy to see that there’s an increased ability in the design of packaging and what can be put on packaging to communicate information about the products to the consumer,” said Cameron.
It recommends that provinces and territories consider allowing direct-to-consumer sales—including farmgate and mail orders—from smaller cultivators and processors to allow them to generate and keep more revenue than they are able to generate and keep by selling cannabis through distributors. However, some issues that the B.C. cannabis industry has long been advocating for are not included in the report, including increasing the permitted tetrahydrocannabinol level in cannabis, according to Anand. THC is the compound responsible for the intoxication effects experienced when consuming marijuana.
