According to a recent announcement, the Provincial Government is going to be introducing a new cannabis retail licence that will give eligible federally licensed cannabis producers the ability to sell non-medical cannabis products from stores that are located at their cultivation site.
Producers will be able to apply for a licence through the Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch’s liquor and cannabis licensing portal when they become available on November 30th.
The introduction of this new licence is part of BC’s commitment to enable farm-to-gate cannabis sales in the Province and its intention is to support the development of a sustainable legal cannabis economy that includes Indigenous and rural communities as well.
Producers who get licences will also be able to register for the Liquor Distribution Branch’s PRS direct-delivery program, which is reportedly different from the broader direct delivery program, as the PRS one can deliver up to 3,000 kilograms of dried, unpackaged cannabis or its fresh equivalent annually directly to licensed and authorized cannabis retail stores in BC.
