B.C.-based cannabis company Tilray is seeking discussions with Health Canada about the rules governing cannabis beverages, as well as equivalencies with other cannabis products, which became legal in Canada in 2019.
On Monday, Tilray announced the completion of its deal with Aphria to become “a leading cannabis-focused consumer-packaged-goods company.” According to the news release on the company website, it wants to “have a complete portfolio of cannabis 2.0 products to strengthen its leadership position.”
Meanwhile, the Association Québecoise de l’industrie du cannabis is also seeking discussions with the government about topics that include medical-grow licences, additional oversight programs, development of a marketing and branding regime, and the application of excise tax on medical cannabis.
