Beehigh Vital Elements News Today

Six years after the legislative journey toward legalization began, many cannabis entrepreneurs say their businesses are struggling due to excessive government regulations and the still-flourishing illicit market. CBC’s Kenny Sharpe talks to the owners of BeeHigh Vital Elements Inc. in Corner Brook, N.L., about their fears for their multi-million dollar investment, then Catherine Cullen asks Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos whether the government got legalization wrong.
