We went through the review and scrutinized the recommendations. Here is our response:

BREAKING: President Trump is considering downgrading Marijuana’s drug classification, per WSJ.

[NORML Canada @NORMLCanada]

@CBCIza @ronmortgageguy They discriminate against people working in cannabis all the time. Even the OCS (a government agency that generates billions) had difficulty getting a bank to work with them

[NORML Canada @NORMLCanada]

@ColinDMello Then why is there a 150m barrier required for cannabis retail stores? There is no consumption there either.

[NORML Canada @NORMLCanada]

Progress not perfection, our petition was heard!

10mg on the interior package but exterior up to carry limit.

Next step will be to remove the additional wrappers but this is monumental.

@ruedagento Do you mean recommendation 14?

A “serving” would be a more appropriate unit of measure than “dose”because recreational cannabis is not prescribed/therapeutic in this context.

Any other criticisms? Anything you agree with?

@ruedagento Actually all suggestions support health objectives, public safety objectives, and displacement of the unregulated market. Our response also understands the nuance of various issues and is realistic to the current market trends and reality.

[NORML Canada @NORMLCanada]

Some recommendations are contrary to what we would want (edible limits and increased enforcement) we applaud the panel for recognizing the need for excise reform, business supports from the government and collaboration with FN and equity deserving people. https://t.co/3Q1bVetMuS

Edibles may not be the biggest Cannabis category, but the 10mg limit on legal edibles gives consumers a compelling reason to shop illicit. If the government is serious about combating the illicit market - and reducing incidents of pediatric thc intoxication - they will raise the thc limit on safe legal edibles that include child safety measures!

The group challenging Manitoba’s ban on growing cannabis at home has filed an appeal against a recent court decision to uphold the ban https://t.co/JukfB6TY4C

[StratCann🌱 @StratCann]

This petition to increase the THC limit for edibles now has almost 3,000 signatures! Have you signed it yet? 🗒️https://t.co/bsQS71tics

@JodieEmery Thanks for the support! ❤️🥰

[Jodie Giesz-Ramsay @JodieEmery]

Shout out to @NORMLCanada for working on promoting this petition and rallying so much support so far! 🙌🏻💚

[Highland Cannabis @highlandkw]

The answer to shutting down the illicit market is not increasing store caps, it's taking the gloves off. The govt expects us to "out retail" the illicit market, and yet they shackle us with an excise tax that makes legal products 2x the price of illicit!

@ClarkeBitter OKAY but did you know @NORMLCanada has a petition through the government to increase the edible limits ?!

It’s going to be read and presented to the House of Commons !

@higherjessica @ClarkeBitter @NORMLCanada This is how you fight the black market. I mean, police can put out ads also, but legislation helps lol

[NORML Canada @NORMLCanada]

@Sarah_Colero Correct. This is in the context of recreational cannabis and the OCS in response to other provinces allowing recreational mail order.

[NORML Canada @NORMLCanada]

“…we’re at a point where there’s a lot of retailers who need any sale that they can get,” said Jennawae Cavion, executive director of NORML Canada

“This is directly taking food off of people’s tables to the tune of about $8 million a year.”

Great to see some progress in Alberta. This is progress (not perfection) and would be great to see other provinces follow suit.
