– Huffington Post Canada –
Canada’s marijuana legalization advocates are eagerly awaiting all-out victory under the Trudeau government, but for now, they will have to make do with baby steps.
Here’s one such step. For the first time, it’s now possible for medical marijuana patients to buy a weed product legally in Canada that isn’t for smoking.
Ontario-based medical marijuana manufacturer Peace Naturals has announced it has received permission from Health Canada to sell cannabis oil.
Peace Naturals calls it “the first legal and non-combustible medicinal Cannabis offering to Canadians” under the federal medical marijuana program. It sees non-smoking products “as the more viable solution for Canadians in need.”
Some medical pot advocates had complained that Canada’s program forced people to smoke the herb, without offering ingestible options.
