This weekend, B.C.'s pot supply grew by another 100,000 plants. The cannabis clones arrived by air from Ontario, destined for pot giant Canopy Growth's new space in Aldergrove.
The greenhouse is the largest federally licensed cannabis growing facility in the world, according to the Ontario-based company. Right now, the licence covers 400,000 square feet — or about 3.7 hectares — but when the plants are mature, they'll stretch across a whopping 1.3 million square feet.
The new operation shows just how much room there is to grow in the cannabis industry, according to Ian Dawkins, president of the Cannabis Commerce Association of Canada.
