Tweed executive vice-president Mark Zekulin said the company was interviewed for the Canadian Press article, which covered the fast growth of the fledgling industry but focused on the problems of long wait lists at some companies and complaints of high prices.
“We didn’t make the cut, I guess,” Mr. Zekulin said earlier this week.
If they had, he said, the story would have painted a somewhat different picture.
“Our waiting list is gone,” Mr. Zekulin said. “We’ve had our big harvest come in. There will be more than enough product for the patients we have and anybody else in the foreseeable future who signs up with us, so I think that’s a good news story.”
Mr. Zekulin said as production continues to increase, the company will be able to take on even more patients.
“I would expect you would start to see our competitors in the same boat as well,” he said.
Mr. Zekulin said Tweed has three price points and three of the company’s best-selling products are at the bottom price. The higher-priced products are moving slower.
“I’m not sure I would call that beset by high prices or whatever the wording was,” he said.
The article also dealt with how government regulations are affecting the industry with producers on both sides of the debate.
Mr. Zekulin said he feels the regulations can actually mean good things down the road.
“The government has actually set up a very strong regime that in my view means that if you can meet the requirements here, you can meet the requirements anywhere in the world,” he said. “Not only is there a Canadian market to be served, but there’s an international market.”
Meanwhile, another local player is looking to get into the market.
As it awaits the closing of its amalgamation with Mazzoro Resources, GrowPros announced Wednesday it will soon be closing a deal to purchase 190 acres of agricultural land north of Ottawa. It is planning a 50,000 square foot production facility on the land and says it expects a ready to build authorization from Health Canada by the second quarter of the coming year.
