Health committee  Yes, going back to your 30 grams and the recommendation, after being a part of many meetings with medical doctors and with everyone getting a sense of what 30.... I didn't realize that 30 grams could be like 60 joints, or as high as 90 joints depending on how it is cut, as they s

Health committee  That's a lot of money. That, to me, seems like a very large sum to have in somebody's possession, and you're allowed to share it, which amazes me as well. You could have four people, each with 30 grams, and they could be sharing it with four other people, and so on and so on. It

Health committee  On the question of package designs and different things, I think it has to be a little different because there are so many different varieties of what you're going to be able to put together, and I do agree with them. One joint or two joints maybe isn't the way to go, but it's al

Health committee  I don't think any of us are really experts when it comes to retailing cannabis in this country right now, or how it will all go down. I think one of the things that needs to be taken into account is what a package is going to look like for cannabis, and, let's be honest, how bi

Health committee  But you've failed miserably on the tobacco side. If you look at where the cost of tobacco is today compared with what the cost of illicit tobacco is, you have one way up here and you have one way down there. To go back on a question asked before, the people who have the most to

Health committee  I understand, but you're talking about packaging and you're talking about moving someone over to a legal product, and you just said, to the lowest price—

Health committee  Yes.

Health committee  If you start lowering the price.... My perception of that is it's not the government that's lowering the price.

Health committee  If the legal product gets lower. Is that what we're saying? Yes.

Health committee  I agree with that, too. When it comes to promotion of the product, it should be very similar to the way they promote tobacco. If it's anything outside, it shouldn't be promoted.

Health committee  I think it's entirely up to this government to make that decision on where they are going to go. My thoughts are just based on the experience we have of selling another combustible product. We have worked with many government agencies over the years on how we can do a better job

Health committee  I agree as well. Anything you can do to help stop it from going to the illicit side, I think, is what everybody agrees with. That's the point.

Health committee  Can I comment because I want to make it very clear?

Health committee  Okay.
