pot nursery2.2.3 NURSERY The intent of this licence category is to enable a legal source of starting materials (both for commercial and personal cultivation), and the development of new varieties of high quality cannabis. It is proposed that a licence for a nursery would authorize the cultivation of any variety of cannabis plants (including industrial hemp), and to produce seeds and seedlings (including clones). A nursery licence would also authorize related activities, including possession, transportation, research and development, storage, and destruction. Nurseries would be permitted to sell live plants and seeds to other licensed cultivators, licensed processors, and holders of a research authorization. However, they would not be able to sell directly to the public or to federally-licensed or provincially- or territorially-authorized sellers. The harvest of other plant material and production of any other class of cannabis would be prohibited under this class of licence. This material would need to be destroyed. As described further in section 2.3, below, certain regulatory requirements for nurseries would be reduced as compared with regulatory requirements for standard cultivation, reflecting differences in the level of risk related to the scale of the operation.
