Every commercial producer or packager of cannabis requires a “Cannabis Licence” from the Canadian Revenue Agency, which we can assist in obtaining.
For those applying to Health Canada to cultivate, produce, process, package or sell cannabis, key personnel will need to obtain a “security clearance” from Health Canada. Get in touch with us today to determine if you will able to obtain security clearance and how to best structure your organization otherwise.
That depends on what form of cannabis you want to work with, and whether you want to produce or just sell it. In Ontario and other provinces, parties can apply to operate a private retail cannabis space, while production is subject to an arduous application process with Health Canada.
Yes! The Ontario Government now allows private entities to apply to obtain the Retail Operator Licence and Retail Store Authorization permits needed to sell cannabis in a a storefront in Ontario or elsewhere in Ontario. You need to meet strict requirements, and the capital costs can be intensive. You will need to work with architects, security planners, and business planners, and we have all of that figured out.
We have worked with great criminal lawyers in the field who practice solely on cannabis matters. If we cannot help you with your matter, we will put you in touch with a lawyer that knows both criminal and cannabis law.
The licence you will have to obtain depends on what step of the process you would like to take part in and whether it is for medical or non-medical purposes. To produce or cultivate any kind of cannabis, you will need a production licence from Health Canada as well as a cannabis licence from the Canada Revenue Agency.
