  • CBD) Information About CBD in Cannabis and Hemp Products Under the New Cannabis Act
    ALL ABOUT CANNABIDIOL (CBD) Information about CBD in cannabis and hemp products under the new Cannabis Act WHAT IS CBD? The cannabis plant contains hundreds of different chemical constituents, such as cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids. Currently, over 100 chemical substances collectively known as cannabinoids have been identified. Cannabinoids that are derived from cannabis plants are sometimes referred to as phytocannabinoids. Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of these cannabinoids. Unlike tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) - the most well-known cannabinoid in cannabis, responsible for the high or intoxication of consuming cannabis - CBD does not produce a high or intoxicating effect. However, there is some evidence that CBD may influence some of the effects that THC has on the brain. CBD is also being studied for its possible therapeutic uses; it has received market approval in the United States for two severe forms of epilepsy. CBD can be found in varieties of the cannabis plant, including hemp plants. All phytocannabinoids, whether derived from a cannabis plant or produced by synthesis, including both THC and CBD, are regulated under the new Cannabis Act and its regulations, which came into force on October 17, 2018. HOW IS CBD REGULATED IN CANADA? Under the Cannabis Act, many activities with phytocannabinoids, CBD included, remain prohibited, except for the specific cases authorized by the Act and its regulations, which include strict controls on possession, production, sale, and distribution. While Health Canada oversees the production of cannabis products, the provinces and territories oversee the distribution and retail aspects of the cannabis supply chain. Health Canada remains responsible for overseeing the distribution and sale of cannabis and any CBD-containing cannabis products for medical purposes.

  • The Cannabis Act, Bill C-45: Problems and Prospects
    The Cannabis Act, Bill C-45: Problems and Prospects Canada’s Plan to Tax and Regulate As many observers have noted, there are two key goals wrapped within this initiative – eliminating the black market in cannabis and reducing the possibility of access to minors. In June of 2016 the Trudeau Liberals produced a discussion paper “Toward the Legalization, Regulation and Restriction of Access to Marijuana” (Government of Canada, 2016), and appointed a nine member task force composed of experts in health, justice, policing and addictions. The task force reported to the federal government in late November of 2016, with recommendations for legalization, regulation and restriction of access; they held meetings with governments and experts across the country, and within the United States, and engaged in online consultations. The Discussion Paper set the tone for the work of the task force and gave some clarity to the government’s agenda, suggesting five themes that the government wished to focus upon in creating this new legislation: 1) Minimizing harms of use; 2) Establishing a safe and responsible production system; 3) Designing an appropriate distribution system; 4) Enforcing public safety and protection; and 5) Accessing marijuana for medical purposes. Given the focus today on justice and public safety, I will speak briefly to the manner in which the legislation addresses each of the first four themes. Minimizing the Harms of Use With respect to minimizing the harms of use, the Task Force recommended a minimum age of 18 for legal purchase; restrictions on advertising and promotion of the attractiveness of products were suggested, with the caveat that useful information about the product – strain and THC and CBD content would be anticipated.
