Although cannabis was legalized at the same time in all Canadian provinces, regulations remain stricter in Quebec, says Michel Timperio, chairman of the board of directors of the Quebec Cannabis Industry Association.
"We are governed by a regulation that is much more restrictive. In Quebec, there is a survival that is currently done, because it is not easy for the industry to operate in the Quebec context," he said on the occasion of the international day of cannabis during the Noovo Le Fil 17 bulletin hosted by Marie-Christine Bergeron.
Mr. Timperio added that the sale of several products such as creams, jujubes or vaporizers is allowed elsewhere in Canada, but not in Quebec. The black market is still very present in Quebec," he says. That's what makes it difficult to achieve the government's original goals."
