Proposed pot regulations open door to craft growers, licensing non-violent offenders
Federal Health Minister Ginette Petitpas Taylor has released the Liberal government’s proposed cannabis regulations, opening the door to craft marijuana producers, allowing low-risk offenders to participate in the industry and offering some leeway on packaging.
Canadians have until Jan. 20 to offer opinions either through an online questionnaire or by providing a written submission on the measures before they are implemented.
“This proposed regulatory approach is informed by the extensive consultations to date, and it supports our overarching goal of protecting public health and safety,” the minister said in a statement. “We look forward to hearing the views of Canadians from across the country

The Real Reason Craft Cannabis is Here to Stay
Nothing evokes passionate debate in the cannabis community like the threat of big business taking over. The arguments against big marijuana fill the internet. The heartfelt plea to preserve small farms is echoed throughout the US, Canada, and Jamaica. At the Marijuana Business Conference in Las Vegas last November there was even a debate dedicated to arguing which was better: Craft Cannabis vs Big Marijuana.
But this should never have been an either or statement. Is Big Business with Big Money going to jump in on the Marijuana Green Rush? Absolutely! Is that the beginning of the end of small craft farmers? Not in a million years!
I have personally met with hundreds of marijuana growers, and at GGS we have been supplying greenhouses, growing tables, and indoor cultivation facilities specifically designed to maximize cannabis production since the 1990s. From our years of experience I can tell you there are many reasons craft cannabis will continue to thrive.

O.penVAPE Responds To Customers Desire For Flavored Cannabis
While some in the cannabis industry obsess over strains and the nuances of those flavors, the largest cannabis brand O.penVAPE has rolled out a new line of flavored vapes. The O.penVAPE ISH line was launched on Tuesday with three flavors: Bavarian Cream, Blue Raspberry, and Watermelon.
The company said that it was responding to a lot of customer feedback from people that wanted a flavored cartridge. “It appeals to a totally different market than say – the craft reserve. Plus, the addition of flavoring sets it apart in this category,” said Chris Driessen, President, Organa Brands U.S. “The customer is someone who is perhaps not a strain aficionado. It’s someone looking for rich flavor without a strong marijuana taste.”
