Frequently Asked Questions
‘What is a “security clearance” and will I be able to obtain one?’
For those applying to Health Canada to cultivate, produce, process, package or sell cannabis, key personnel will need to obtain a “security clearance” from Health Canada. Get in touch with us today to determine if you will able to obtain security clearance and how to best structure your organization otherwise.
‘Can I legally produce and sell my weed product?’
That depends on what form of cannabis you want to work with, and whether you want to produce or just sell it. In Ontario and other provinces, parties can apply to operate a private retail cannabis space, while production is subject to an arduous federal application process with Health Canada.
‘I’ve been arrested for an offence under the Cannabis Act, Cannabis Control Act or Cannabis Licence Act. Can you help?’
We have worked with great criminal lawyers in the field who practice solely on cannabis matters. If we cannot help you with your matter, we will put you in touch with a lawyer that knows both criminal and cannabis law.
‘Can I start a privately-run dispensary in Toronto or Ontario?’
Yes! The Ontario Government now allows private entities to apply to obtain the Retail Operator Licence and Retail Store Authorization permits needed to sell through a storefront in Toronto or elsewhere in Ontario. You need to meet strict requirements, and the capital costs can be intensive. You will need to work with architects, security planners, and business planners, and we have all of that ;gured out.
'Do I need a license to cultivate, produce, or sell medical and non-medical marijuana?'
The licence you will have to obtain depends on what step of the process you would like to take part in and whether it is for medical or non-medical purposes. To produce, you will need a production licence from Health Canada as well as a licence from the Canada Revenue Agency.
