B.C. Premier David Eby said he’s astonished that the federal Health Department gave the green light to a Langley cannabis company to produce, sell, and distribute cocaine.
When asked by a reporter about the approval, Eby slammed Health Canada for not consulting B.C. before granting the company approval to produce cocaine.
“If Health Canada did in fact do this, they did it, not only without engaging with the province, but without notice to us,”
Michael Forbes, CEO of Adastra, said in a statement the company “will evaluate how the commercialization of (cocaine) fits in with our business model at Adastra in an effort to position ourselves to support the demand for a safe supply of cocaine.” |
I'll just go on record and say I think that overall this is the way to go if we're going to get to true safe supply, but Health Canada should have definitely consulted the province ahead of time.
