Health Canada is seeking public input on proposed changes to the Cannabis Act, which was implemented in 2018 to legalize and regulate the production, distribution, and sale of cannabis in Canada. The proposed changes aim to address issues that have arisen since the Act came into effect and to improve the overall effectiveness of the regulatory framework.<\/p>\n
One of the key proposed changes is to allow for the production and sale of cannabis edibles, extracts, and topicals. Currently, only dried cannabis flower and oil are permitted for sale. The proposed changes would allow for a wider variety of products to be sold, which could provide new opportunities for businesses and consumers alike. However, Health Canada is also proposing strict regulations around the production and sale of these products to ensure they are safe for consumption.<\/p>\n
Another proposed change is to allow for the sale of cannabis products that are not packaged in child-resistant containers. This would allow for more environmentally-friendly packaging options, but would also require additional measures to prevent accidental ingestion by children.<\/p>\n
Health Canada is also proposing changes to the licensing requirements for cannabis producers and retailers. The proposed changes would require all license holders to demonstrate compliance with certain security requirements, such as background checks for key personnel and physical security measures at production facilities and retail stores.<\/p>\n
In addition, Health Canada is seeking input on potential changes to the advertising and promotion of cannabis products. The current regulations restrict advertising to certain channels and prohibit advertising that appeals to youth or promotes excessive consumption. Health Canada is considering whether additional restrictions are necessary to prevent the promotion of cannabis products in a way that could be harmful to public health.<\/p>\n
Overall, the proposed changes aim to improve the safety and effectiveness of the regulatory framework for cannabis in Canada. Health Canada is encouraging all interested parties to provide feedback on the proposed changes by submitting comments through their website. The deadline for submissions is February 20, 2020.<\/p>\n
It is important for Canadians to take advantage of this opportunity to provide input on the proposed changes to the Cannabis Act. By doing so, they can help shape the future of cannabis regulation in Canada and ensure that it continues to be a safe and effective industry for all stakeholders.<\/p>\n
