Not necessarily. Smart micros will never sell to LP’s. They will obtain all three phases of licensing (micro, processors, and retail sales) and sell their brands direct to the consumer. That’s how I’d be doing it anyways!

If it’s allowed. If they can go QC to there own product.

I’ve seen nothing in the proposed Standard/Micro licensing framework that would prevent it?

Quality assurance. All product must be put through LPs to test and distribute. I’ve spoke to a few guys with 20+ lights and seems the concern is sending LP 30-40lb and it not “passing” considering everything is taged seed to sale

Also, Tousaw has reported that his meetings with HC were positive in regards to having micro processing entire harvests. So if anything I think production will have growing, nursery and processing.

Not true...no LP testing required for micro/standard, all can be done in-house...with the exception of “banned” pesticides.

2.2.9 Analytical Testing
Under the ACMPR and Narcotic Control Regulations, respectively, both licensed producers and licensed dealers are authorized to test cannabis. Cannabis must be tested for microbial and chemical contaminants, residues of solvents, content of THC and CBD, and disintegration of capsules, using validated methods. In addition, on May 5, 2017, Health Canada announced that it would require all licensed producers to conduct mandatory testing of all cannabis products destined for sale for the presence of unauthorized pesticides(for more information, please see the Statement from Health Canada on Mandatory Testing of Medical Cannabis for Unauthorized Pesticides).

Under the IHR, industrial hemp must be tested by a competent laboratory for THC content. Non-viable seeds must be tested by a laboratory accredited by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

As described in further detail in section 2.3.6 of this consultation paper, it is proposed that licensed processors would be required to conduct mandatory analytical testing, including mandatory testing for the presence of unauthorized pesticides, to verify that the regulatory requirements are met prior to packaging and labelling. For industrial hemp, it is proposed that mandatory testing only be required as set out in section 2.2.4 (i.e., for production of seeds and development of new varieties for designation as an approved cultivar).

Licensed processors could conduct their own, in-house analytical testing, however they would be required to demonstrate that they were using validated testing methodologies. Health Canada would require mandatory testing for the presence of unauthorized pesticides to be conducted by an independent third-party laboratory.

In general, all independent third-party laboratories conducting analytical testing of cannabis, including testing of microbial and chemical contaminants, residues of solvents, content of THC and CBD, disintegration of capsules, and testing for the presence of unauthorized pesticides, would be required to hold an analytical testing licence under the Cannabis Act. Such laboratories would also be required to demonstrate that they were using validated testing methodologies. With respect to industrial hemp, an analytical testing licence would not be required for private laboratories accredited by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency that conduct seed viability testing.

Seems like your right. I have read that LPs to testing. I guess if your a micro with the capabilities you can. I won’t be at that scale. Probably 50lights with 3-5 employees, closer to the 3-4. Lease in place. Staff in place. Insurance wants me to get a stage 2 safe and they will insure my storage. Security has been very very minimized, grow site and background check too. Health minister says no cap on licenses and minimum employees at 2 with all sizes allowed. The threshold may be a issue at 10k or 20k sqft...this is where things go wonky with what other officials say, lots of contradiction. We can only wait and see.

Well considering the white balance on the photo is off sure... but in reality why would I care about the looks when it gets chopped up and incinerated? If it gets me high it gets me high whether its brown or light green.

The market here in SK always seems to be the same no matter how things are in BC. Only time I seen it change was when all these dispensaries started popping up. But now that the police shut most of those down recently, the black market thrives again. Thank you Chief Evan Bray.
