Second Phase of Cannabis Legalization Now in Effect

In accordance with the Federal Government’s Cannabis Act and Regulations, the second phase of cannabis legalization related to non-medical cannabis edibles, extracts and topicals is now in effect in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Under these regulations, as of October 17 licensed producers can begin submitting edible and topical products to Health Canada to be subjected to a review and approval process.

It is expected that non-medical cannabis edibles, extracts and topicals will become available gradually starting in mid-December 2019.
