Looming federal law changes means the marijuana business is booming in Canada
A two day marijuana exhibition in Vancouver is giving people an idea of just how large and varied Canada’s cannabis industry has become — and where it could grow next.
More than 100 businesses set up booths to showcase their wares at the Vancouver Cannabis Expo, but not a single cloud of smoke could be seen in the massive hall.
The expo is helping to break down stereotypes and prove there’s a credible side to the industry, said Natasha Raey, spokeswoman for Lift Cannabis Co., which put on the show.
“It’s not just someone selling bud out of a ziploc bag anymore. You’re seeing real brand development. The industry is growing up,” she said.
A variety of wares were available throughout the hall. Among the booths selling seeds and growing equipment were some potentially unexpected exhibitors, including a firm that provides financing for marijuana-related businesses.
