Legal industry needs ‘immediate financial relief’ says Cannabis Council of Canada
Four years on from legalization and Health Canada is in the midst of a review of the Cannabis Act. The Cannabis Council of Canada (C3) has confirmed that they have submitted a response, reports Canadian Lawyer.
C3’s response was to the “Taking Stock of Progress: Cannabis Legalization and Regulation in Canada” report. Their submission contained 37 recommendations to improve the current regulations, including:
- Revising cannabis tax to help compete with the legacy industry
- Increasing consumer education
- Cracking down on legacy retailer
- Increasing THC limits for edibles
“The time has come for our governments to acknowledge Canadians’ support for legal cannabis and to tear down the walls that prohibit consumers from accessing the information they need to make informed choices about cannabis,” C3 CEO and president, George Smitherman said.
Newfoundland lifts ban on cannabis vapes
The Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador has lifted the ban it placed on cannabis vape products back in 2019, reports MJBiz Daily.
While the ban on selling vape products has been reversed, restrictions on non-cannabis flavors remain in place. After a review revealed the popularity of vapes in the illicit market, they are hoping to be able to take some of the market share back with this amendment.
Newfoundland’s government “should be applauded for its decision to provide legal, tested, controlled access to cannabis vaping products.” said Pierre Killeen, vice president of the Cannabis Council of Canada.

Cannabis deliveries to get the green light in New York
The New York office of cannabis management announced the first retail licenses last month, but they also announced that delivery services may be a way to get the first retailer sales before storefronts appear, reports The City.
There are already some regulations laid out for delivery.
- Businesses can only deliver by ground transportation
- Verification would be needed when delivery arrives
- Business could have no more than 25 employees providing paid delivery services.
“We are allowing adult-use retail dispensary non-storefront delivery as a means of jumpstarting adult-use cannabis product sales,” and new operational guidelines will be released soon to get “non-store front delivery operations up and running.” said a spokesperson for the Office of Cannabis Management.
