Early Findings
CBD AND CANNABIS PRODUCTS IN CANADA
Before the
legalization
of cannabis for
recreational
purposes, CBD was illegal unless approved for
medicinal purposes.
Following some legislation,
CBD and hemp
are now sold in dispensaries across Canada.
In order to maintain control, the
Canadian government
only allows legal purchase for those
18 and over.
After the legalization of Cannabis,
1 in 4 Canadians
who use it for medical purposes have had a harder time to access it with
64%
under-dosing or stretching out their supply to last them longer.
The
government
should have paid attention to the
potential
impact on medical cannabis as they legalized the
recreational
use.
CANADIAN PHARMACIES
A lobby group consisting of pot producers, drug companies, pharmacists and retailers dubbed their initiative;
Common Initiative.
This group has managed to ensure that
medical marijuana
will now be sold in
pharmacies
.
Pharmacists
are the best people to dispense and advice on medical cannabis as they have the expertise for this.
They are the best option to ensure the safety of
patients and the public.
CANADIAN FASHION AND BEAUTY BRANDS
An event dubbed
On A High
organized by the Canadian Arts and Fashion Awards (
CAFA
) and sponsored by the
Business of Cannabis
, is the launch of what will be an
annual
event that envisions cannabis as a meta-category that will infiltrate countless business sectors.
This event is the intersection of cannabis, fashion, and beauty. It was held in downtown
Toronto
.
This is a grand move as cannabis moves from bottom corners of labels to
center stage
