We think it’s important to have a tax system that supports our project when it comes to taxing cannabis. This means ensuring that children will not have access to cannabis and that criminals will disappear from the market.
We think full market access is necessary, but we know there will likely be situations in the future where cannabis will be prescribed by a physician. So if we have the identification number of the drug, we won’t tax medical cannabis.
In our opinion, this will be the appropriate approach for people with an illness and for the rest of the Canadian population.
