The proposed changes are aimed at improving the regulatory framework for cannabis products and addressing concerns around public health and safety.<\/p>\n<p>One of the key proposed amendments is the introduction of new regulations for cannabis edibles, extracts, and topicals. These products were legalized in Canada in October 2019, but there are currently no regulations in place governing their production, sale, or use. The proposed regulations would establish rules around the potency of these products, as well as packaging and labeling requirements.<\/p>\n<p>Another proposed amendment would allow for the sale of cannabis products that have been approved by Health Canada for medical use, but have not yet been authorized for recreational use. This would provide patients with access to a wider range of cannabis products, while also ensuring that these products meet strict quality and safety standards.<\/p>\n<p>The proposed amendments also include changes to the licensing process for cannabis producers and retailers. Health Canada is proposing to streamline the licensing process and reduce the regulatory burden on small-scale producers, while also increasing the enforcement powers of regulators to crack down on illegal activity in the industry.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the proposed amendments are aimed at improving the regulatory framework for cannabis in Canada, while also addressing concerns around public health and safety. Health Canada is seeking input from stakeholders and members of the public on these proposals, and will be accepting comments until February 20, 2020.<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested in providing feedback on these proposed amendments, you can do so by visiting Health Canada&#8217;s website and submitting your comments online. Your input could help shape the future of the cannabis industry in Canada, so don&#8217;t miss this opportunity to have your say.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"plato-post-bottom-links\">\n<li class=\"plato-post-bottom-link-amplifi\">SEO Powered Content &amp; PR Distribution. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amplifipr.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Get Amplified Today.<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"plato-post-bottom-link-platoblockchain\">PlatoAiStream.
