The club had asked Health Canada to exempt it from the Cannabis Act, which sets a 10-milligram THC limit per edible and prohibits storefront sales of medical cannabis
Health Canada has rejected a request from the Victoria Cannabis Buyers Club to exempt it from federal cannabis regulations that prohibit the club from operating legally.In a letter to the club this week, Health Canada said it had not demonstrated that the proposed exemptions are necessary for a medical purpose or are in the public interest.
The club submitted an application hundred of pages long to Health Canada in 2021, along with multiple letters of support from the City of Victoria, letters from drug policy experts and over 300 patient testimonials. Operating since 1996, the compassion club sells a range of products, including many homemade baked goods, salves, capsules and gummies, to more than 8,000 clients, whom Smith has described as mostly older people who are using cannabis to deal with health concerns such as cancer, diabetes, arthritis, chronic pain and mental-health problems.
Some club members consume more than 1,000 milligrams of THC daily, making it a challenge to consume the desired amount when each edible is limited to 10 milligrams, Smith said.
