RE:2.2.4 Industrial Hemp (CBD!)Does everybody realize how amazing this proposed legislation is? Jeff has always said that the only way Tinley could sell Hemplify in Canada was through one of the licensed producers, and now this has completely changed. No license is required!!! Tinley does not need to give away a royalty fee and can now do exactly what they have been doing in the US on their own. If there is a reason that the share price went up a lot today then this would be it. Look for a much more aggressive expansion plan into Canada moving forward. If this goes through as planned then Hemplify will be selling in Canada on July 1st, 2018.

2.2.4 Industrial Hemp
It is proposed that a licence for industrial hemp would authorize the cultivation of industrial hemp plants and the production and sale of seeds and grains (and their derivatives). It is proposed that the regulations would define industrial hemp as “cannabis plants whose leaves and flowering heads do not contain more than 0.3% THC.” It should be noted that any part of the plant identified in Schedule 2 of the proposed Cannabis Act, such as a non-viable seed or mature stalk without any leaf, flower, seed or branch, would fall outside the scope of the proposed Act. As such, activities related to these plant parts (such as their processing or sale) would not require a licence under the proposed Act. Further, as is currently the case under the Industrial Hemp Regulations, a licence would not be required for the sale of derivatives of seed and grain that contain 10 micrograms per gram of THC or less.
An industrial hemp licence would also authorize related activities, including possession, transportation, research and development, consistent with other classes of licences. To improve upon the current regulatory requirements for industrial hemp producers, it is proposed that industrial hemp licences would authorize the intra-industry sale of leaves, flowers and branches (or the whole plant).
