Forms of marijuana used for everything from brownies to lip balms are now legally available following Health Canada’s swift response to Supreme Court ruling.
OTTAWA—Rules that limited medical marijuana users to only dried forms of the drug have gone up in smoke.
Forms of marijuana that can be used to make everything from brownies to lip balms will now be legally available following Health Canada’s swift response to a Supreme Court of Canada ruling that had struck down an element of the previous regulations on access to medical marijuana as unconstitutional.
In a directive issued Wednesday, the department said that cannabis oils, as well as fresh marijuana buds and leaves, can now be sold by licensed producers provided they follow similar packaging and labelling requirements as exist for dried marijuana.
