On July 8, it became even easier for residents of British Columbia residents to obtain cannabis products. On that date, it became to legal to deliver marijuana flower, concentrates and other THC infused products via common carriers which, by definition, includes Canada Post, among other delivery services. This is an expansion of the law already in place allowing businesses to deliver personally with the province.
Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General Mike Farnworth said in a recent press release, “Since federal legalization of non-medical cannabis, we have continued to look for ways to support the cannabis industry in our province while providing safe and accessible options for British Columbians. Expanding delivery-service options not only builds equality within the market, it also gives consumers one more reason to buy legal instead of illicit.”
Retail Cannabis Council of BC executive director Jaclynn Pehota responded on behalf of local retail cannabis businesses and their consumers. “Private retailers welcome this expanded delivery regime. This is a significant tool for our members. Government heard our request and responded. Knowing that the government supports and is creating parity within the legal cannabis industry will help retailers thrive and will continue to ensure British Columbians have a choice as consumers.”
