Issue
Tilray is voluntarily recalling three marijuana for medical purposes products due to positive bacterial testing: Sativa House Blend (Lot number: 5411 9952 8740 9514), Hybrid House Blend (Lot number: 6889 8271 1515 4149) and Indica House Blend (Lot number: 3470 2895 9118 1906).

During the course of a regular inspection conducted under the Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations, Health Canada inspectors tested the above products to ensure compliance with the regulation.

Tilray’s clients should consult with a healthcare professional if they have concerns about their health related to the use of this product.

Tilray is contacting the clients who received the affected lots and is instructing them to immediately discontinue use of any marijuana from these lots that they may still have in their possession. If clients wish to destroy the product at home, they should add water to the marijuana to render it unusable, mix it with cat litter and dispose of it with regular household waste. Clients with questions regarding return of product should contact Tilray directly.

The company has indicated that it has not received any reports of adverse events associated with the use of this product. Further, Health Canada has not received any reports of adverse reactions.

Producers of marijuana for medical purposes are subject to compliance and enforcement measures similar to those in place for other producers of controlled substances. They must meet strict security, control and reporting requirements, and they are regularly inspected.

Dried marijuana is not an approved drug or medicine in Canada. Possession and use of marijuana remains illegal in Canada unless authorized under the regulations with the support of a doctor or nurse practitioner.

They don't and with out. Huge freezer storage. They will never handle all the waste.
Freezer storage costs big. And does not all this stuff that's considered for sale have to be put in a vault for secure safe storage ? How big of a vault would it take to appoint at least a portion to freezers full o shake?

would not this oil in grams count toward their production allowances...?
they do have limits on what they can produce and store....as per the licence...?
I can't see them being able to store all of the waste products.....even if its removed from the plant material....
at a ratio of say 2 or 3 grams of goodies per oz of popcorn buds or sugar leaf...or molded bud....
especially while its not possible to sell the concentrates yet.... but they would have to at least qwiso it or start up a co2
rig....for extraction.....
would not barrels of qwiso products left in the alcohol for long term storage or even once extracted...just use up room in the vault?
that they would need for basic bud storage......
I can't see them being able to store extracted thc in barrels just laying around the facility and not secured....
