The impacts of COVID-19 have been far-reaching, affecting
businesses across all sectors. The Canadian cannabis industry,
which has seen rapid legislative and regulatory evolution over the
past several years, has also been forced to adapt and adjust to a
series of emergency orders issued in response to the pandemic by
both federal and provincial governments. In this article, we
explore the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on cannabis producers
and retailers, and the associated legislative responses of federal
and provincial regulators.
