RE:RE:Childhood Cannabis Intoxication - Montreal GazetteMy point in posting a link to the article was that it was an opinion by a medical doctor in a prominent newspaper that is read by many. The fact that it was in a Quebec newspaper where cannabis edibles are currently illegal is significant. Opening up the Quebec market to edibles would be a major boost to NDVA revenue. Articles like this have an adverse effect on that possibility in the future. I never stated that the contents were fact or that I agreed with all the content.
The most interesting point I got from the article was the excerpt that I listed concerning the increased number of emergency room visits by children in Canada and the US attributed to edibles. Opinion articles like this can influence the general public opinion on cannabis edibles and allowable THC concentration limits, true or not. Neil recently acknowledged that increased THC concentration above the 10mg limit will be a game changer for Indiva, if the federal government allows it.
This article was published November 29th, the day before the federal government announced yesterday a panel of experts that will lead a statutory review of the country’s Cannabis Act. Panel members include Dr. Oyedeji Ayonrinde, an associate professor in the psychiatry and psychology departments at Queen’s University, and Dr. Patricia Conrod, a registered clinical psychologist and professor at the University of Montreal’s department of psychiatry and addiction.
If there is any noise or misinformation on this bullboard it is coming from our NDVA troll (you know who he is).

It's clear from the photo that the products presented are from the illegal market and then described to be 600mg of htc which is also illegal. The article finishes with "there has to be better regulation and enforcement about packing and dosing." This regulation is in place across the country and edibles are not even allowed for sale in Quebec, home of the newspaper the article was in.
if this sort of misinformation is used by health Canada we have bigger problems, not the least of which is adults handing out illegal edibles to children at Halloween!! In Winnipeg
