The cannabis market is currently experiencing some turbulence
and uncertainty, but that market and underlying consumer demand is
well established. As cannabis is a barbiturate under international
law, its recreational usage in Canada, although legal, is subject
to strict and complex regulation.
A critical regulatory requirement is individual security
clearance. Failing to understand and meet that requirement could
result in market entry failure or, at best, costly delays in
getting license approval from government authorities. This bulletin
highlights significant legal requirements for individuals to obtain
a security clearance and how to minimize the impact of regulatory
obstacles.
