“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. Oryx BioMed Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sunshine Earth Labs, received the licenses from Health Canada.
TheGrowthOp A fabrication like a lot of other fabrications news sources that use sensationalism and embellishment should be scrutinized closely on any and all future so called journalism.
TheGrowthOp Cocaine of medicinal grade can be used to compound Brompton’s coctail, for terminally ill patients.

TheGrowthOp The federal Liberals operate behind shadows - their anti-western objectives require this lest the woke get a clue and wake. JustinTrudeau won’t even give the SK govt a heads-up when he’s landing there. He is well aware of the hated reception he will get there so he sneaks in.
TheGrowthOp “Astonished “ was he? Either he’s not competent or he’s a liar.
TheGrowthOp Sounds like the C I A / only Canadien / 1st make it legal to carry then marketing
TheGrowthOp A license to produce limited quantities for research does not include a license to sell

TheGrowthOp Cocaine, pure and uncut is a tremendous performance enhancer if used in moderation as a dietary supplement. Honestly, it's a phenomenal substance, the idea of selling snortable cocaine is worrying. You can produce it safely and sell it in powdered form with key vitamins Canada
TheGrowthOp Oh good , somewhere for the imploding Canna Crowd to launder their money next .
TheGrowthOp In accordance with the laws of the province I live in I have to give my birth date. WTH? I live California and I'm not giving out personal info on the internet. Bloody bastards!
TheGrowthOp This is total misinformation. Please as a National publication, at least pretend you have a code of ethics.

TheGrowthOp Look how well this turned out for Oregon, Portland is over run. No ones moving there and people are leaving. Its gross, your multi million dollar home with 6 homeless drug addicts leaning on your fence. No thanks.
TheGrowthOp And this...
Muninn18085831 TheGrowthOp Either dave_eby knew & allowed BC to enter into the ranks as a producer/supplier of Cocaine. Or he didn't know that this was always a possibility under the deal btwn BC & the Feds to decriminalize illicit drugs signed while he was an MLA under jjhorgan...and is incompetent.
TheGrowthOp For god’s sake. 😏
TheGrowthOp That’s right bud…turn you back on JT and see what happened in your back yard.
TheGrowthOp Welcome to Dictatorship! Keep voting Liberal!
TheGrowthOp Maybe Trudeua will bring back plastic straws again
4est2J TheGrowthOp Perhaps the Premier should pay more attention….
TheGrowthOp It was all about the company increasing its stock value. Greed simple as that.
RealAndyLeeShow TheGrowthOp The reality is. The gov. Is basically a legalized drug cartel.
TheGrowthOp Davie is an incompetent clown he is an unsuccessful ambulance chaser having recently LOST a case he filed to harass Victoria residents by wanting to allow street people to camp in Beacon Hill park 🤣🤣🤣 Dave_Eby bcliberals AaronGunn
TheGrowthOp This is a very scary path. How can we as a society encourage drug use. Instead, we hear: don't do drugs alone, learn to use naloxone,safe injection sites, and now cocaine !. Now we have increased homelessness,drug addiction ect
TheGrowthOp I don't understand why Eby would be astonished. By now he & everyone in his party should be well aware that fuhrer Trudeau and his henchman Singh unilaterally rewrite laws of the land & refuse to recognize parliamentary process & laws that they did not personally create.
TheGrowthOp So the Premier and the PM are both astonished and didn’t know. Seems to be the going line with everything now.
TheGrowthOp Approved but no one seems to know who approved it or set it in motion.
TheGrowthOp Trudeau is just planning his retirement to BC and is preemptively creating an environment where he can keep snorting coke with His Buddy's in molested.
RealAndyLeeShow TheGrowthOp Fake news .
TheGrowthOp Health Canada? Or Death Canada? Since when cocaine is synonymous with health and legal? Only under JT? 🧐
TheGrowthOp Making something legal but not available for legal purchase seems like supporting the criminal element. Safe supply isn't the shady f&k on the street corner. Big pharma probably not happy, legal narcotics are dirt cheap and don't have big pharma additives.
TheGrowthOp I doubt the premier didn't know. He has been smuggling up to JustinTrudeau TrudeauCorruption
TheGrowthOp How to generate hysterical headlines.
RealAndyLeeShow TheGrowthOp Upset about this. But forced vaccines into peoples bodies without blinking an eye
RealAndyLeeShow TheGrowthOp Is this a personal free source for JustinTrudeau and his entourage or does he or his foundation have shares in the company?
TheGrowthOp Imagine not knowing Cocaine has been is use in the medical field for decades...
TheGrowthOp Imagine
TheGrowthOp People are going to lose trust even more now in Health Canada
TheGrowthOp Eby is only astonished because he doesn't have his finger in that pie yet! As soon as he can figure out how to profit from it he will suddenly find a reason Tax Payers should support it Just look at how the Money Laundering turned out in BC Politicians are criminals to the core!
TheGrowthOp The news of my windfall prophets have been greatly exagerrated.
TheGrowthOp lol
srduquette3 TheGrowthOp
RealAndyLeeShow TheGrowthOp C mon man How can t he know ?If he doesn t he needs to get lost .This is more lying politics trying to deflect public outrage
TheGrowthOp Libs have no respect for NDP and NDP is broken under theJagmeetSingh
RealAndyLeeShow TheGrowthOp
RealAndyLeeShow TheGrowthOp If he wasn’t consulted and Trudeau says he didn’t know about it… who is in charge here😂😂 CanadianClowns
TheGrowthOp That's okay, Health Canada pro'ly didn't know David Eby was Premier now.
TheGrowthOp Why would Trudeau consult with a lowly premier
TheGrowthOp Time to legalize cocaine. Nothing wrong with nose beers on a friday night.
TheGrowthOp Did the cocain approval have anything to do with BC tourism? Lots of people I know would travel to go skiing.
TheGrowthOp The old pleading ignorance line. Never fails.
TheGrowthOp Perrie thought Vancouver looked bad now...
TheGrowthOp Does this premier have an airport named after him? Then tell him the guy who made the decision, does. Truedoh
TheGrowthOp right...
TheGrowthOp In other news the new official provincial flag has been revealed for B.C.
TheGrowthOp You need to update this story with the actual facts.
TheGrowthOp As Canada slowly goes down the road to insanity. Having people addicted to drugs/alcohol will allow the government to easily control the masses. Look at the cities filled with Condos! People have nothing to do….so, addiction it is. We were warned through books of this!!!
TheGrowthOp The Premier should have the final word on that.
TheGrowthOp What's Trudeau's game ? Why is he moving to normalize drug use ?
