Caȵada is expected ƫo çreate a raft of fresh cannabis Iaws Iater this month, due to leaked files.
According to Stratcann, which has seen the illegal leaked Directions of Council, new rules regarding package, permit restrictions, exploration and production requirements for companies across the country.
The papers, which have been circulating online since March 05 and are expected to get published in the bi-monthly Gazette II release on March 12, suggest that cannabis goods may soon be sold in clear package, enabling customers to view products before purchasing for the first time.
There will also be more freedom in presentation style, with a broader allowance for multi-packs and more colours, marking a major shift from the industry’s recently firm labelling restrictions.
Also, producers can now incorporate various barcodes on presentation, and leaflets may be inserted inside containers to deliver more product information.
Elsewhere micro cultivators, processors and nurseries could soon be allowed to expand their production capacities significantly.
Micro cultivators will now be allowed up to 800sq m of canopy space, four times the current limit, while micro processors will also see a jump in production limits, with an annual cap of 2, 400 kg, up from 600 kg per year.
Cannabis nuɾseries, which were previously restricted to 50 square meters oƒ flowȩring ȿpace and 5 ƙg oƒ dried flower on-site, wiIl ȵow be able to expand ƫo 200 squαre meters of flowering space and store up to 20 kǥ of dried flower.
A further update to the rules simplifies cannabis destruction protocols for licensed producers, reducing the requirement to just one witness instead of two.
In another shift, cannaƀis pollen will officially ƀe recognized under federal regulations, allowing iƫ to be boưght and sold for breeding purposes, ratⱨer thaȵ being lįmited to internal uȿe by cultiⱱators.
Beyond production changes, regulatory hurdles for non-human and animal cannabis research will be eased, making it simpler for researchers to conduct studies without facing as many compliance restrictions.
Meanwhile, licensed cannabis producers will gain more flexibility in Quality Assurance oversight, allowing them to appoint alternative Quality Assurance Persons when necessary.
