“If Health Canada did in fact do this, they did it, not only without engaging with the province, but without notice to us,” he said, via theAdastra Holdings CEO, Michael Forbes, said in a statement that the company “will evaluate how the commercialization of fits in with our business model at Adastra in an effort to position ourselves to support the demand for a safe supply of cocaine.
On Thursday, during Question Period, B.C. Liberal Leader Kevin Falcon also raised questions about Adastra’s announcement.. “Commercializing cocaine as a business opportunity amounts to legalizing cocaine trafficking, full stop.”, Cloverdale-Langley City MP John Aldag has since spoken with officials at Health Canada, who confirmed that the cocaine is for research purposes and can be sold to other licensed companies but not the general public.
. Granted by Ottawa, the exemption is intended as a harm reduction measure aimed to focus on treatment rather than criminalization and allows adults to possess small amounts of illicit drugs for personal use without facing criminal charges, such as opioids, cocaine and amphetamines., MDMA, morphine, opium and diacetylmorphine.

TheGrowthOp No surprise considering most Liberals seem to be on drugs.
TheGrowthOp Keep in mind that the NoDamnPrinciples party wants to see ALL hard drugs legalized.
TheGrowthOp WTF.
TheGrowthOp Is the premier “consulted” on all business licenses? Or just ones that are of his/media interest?
TheGrowthOp Why was he looking to be first customer
TheGrowthOp Why is the BC government encouraging hard drugs . We need to encourage people to just say NO!
TheGrowthOp I call BS
TheGrowthOp What in the actual fck is going on with us...it seems like April Fools Day when I open up Twitter
TheGrowthOp perhaps securities regulators should examine whether Adastra Holdings Ltd. purposefully misled the public to dramatically influence its share price over a single day. remember, FORBESPHARMACY is as shady as 💩.
TheGrowthOp I think they’re all sharing office space now….
TheGrowthOp Of course not. It’s chairman trudeau whom makes all decisions from now on.
TheGrowthOp Do you think the cartels are going to allow this?
TheGrowthOp Love it. So many legal ways to kill yourself in Canada now.
TheGrowthOp What could possibly go wrong…🤨
TheGrowthOp 12 mos from now (or less), Vancouver is going to look like San Francisco ... been there lately ?
TheGrowthOp Haven’t you realized yet? Trudeau is the supreme leader. He doesn’t inform peasants of his godly rights and duties.
TheGrowthOp This is another of many reason why BC,AB,Sk should give the big finger to the clowns in Ottawa and form a new country. It has the resources and ability to do this without much effort.
TheGrowthOp Well now... a bus ticket from Ptbo to VAN could make a lot of odd folks downtown very happy that they could purchase coke legally!
TheGrowthOp
TheGrowthOp Why doesn’t Trudeau build this in his own back yard? Will Trudeau be increasing his visits to BC?
TheGrowthOp Says the guy who's allowing heroin, meth, coke, MDMA and more to be legally possessed on the streets! Of course he knew about it! All politicians lie! Nice try David 🤣 Dave_Eby
TheGrowthOp The Liberals have a plan to keep all the hard drug users high forever. Instead of providing money for treatment to get these folks off the hard drugs he's keeping them on it. This has to be the sickest day in Canadian history.
TheGrowthOp Meanwhile he is not astonished that unvaxed healthcare workers can’t go back to work. Who is going to take care of OD?
TheGrowthOp BC asked for a hard drugs free for all. Suppliers are ramping up. Why is he surprised?
TheGrowthOp Awake yet...even the socialist bc can be duped by the feds... Not that I have a bunch of followers but please if you support the legalization of hard drugs, unfollow me.
TheGrowthOp 'oh, and by the way Eby, when this all goes to shit, your government will need to pick up the pieces'-Liberal Government
TheGrowthOp The old 'I didn't know' from the JT book of responses.
TheGrowthOp A medical Cannabis company getting a license to sell cocaine in medical context? THIS is what occupies Eby's mind, prompts his Qs & 'astonishes' him? Bro, U got bigger concerns & problems. Like still-fired HCWs U could rehire tomorrow for your crumbling healthcare system.
TheGrowthOp Yeah Canada this is what we should be pushing, more drugs😵
TheGrowthOp Pablo Trudeaus Canada.
TheGrowthOp Why do we even continue to listen to the Trudeau Government they are illegitimate. If we all stopped following their stupid policies and laws they would wither away. They wouldn't do nothing, not even the Police like these guys or really anyone else in intelligence or enforcement
TheGrowthOp More machete poking at the gas stations coming for Vancouver.
TheGrowthOp Didn’t BC decriminalize a whole bunch of drugs?
TheGrowthOp 'Astonished' that Canada seems so damned 'broken?' 🤡🤣
TheGrowthOp Our druggy PM just runs roughshod over provinces.
