RE:PROHIBITIONThere are apparently 5 companies with licenses when the new rules to come into "effect" in Canada for medicinal mariquana.
The involvement of institutional buying into the industry tells me business, which is "close" to government knows more than we do for now. I would speculate with one company just having choosen a small town in New Brunswick for production, much is going to be disclosed in the coming weeks.
Hemp is another consideration and the practice of supplementing animal diets with mariquana is proving it's science already.
Exports to the states could also be on the table.

Meanwhile, police say they have uncovered abuses of the medical marijuana program, according to The Canadian Press.
In the affidavit, RCMP Cpl. Shane Holmquist says investigations have turned up evidence of trafficking for personal gain, as well as organized crime.
In one case, a grower stated one room of marijuana was for medical purposes while another was a so-called mortgage helper, Holmquist wrote in the affidavit. Holmquist also noted that organized crime groups offered cancer patients money if they obtained a pot-growing licence and made the criminal their designated grower.
Health Canada has also said that growing operations in patients’ homes were a fire hazard, and also exposed both residents and neighbours to break-ins and home invasions. Officials also found it difficult to inspect growing facilities for safety.
