The need for a national public awareness campaign and the encroaching July 2018 deadline for cannabis legalization will be on the minds of provincial and territorial health ministers when they meet in Edmonton on Friday with their federal counterpart, Ginette Petitpas Taylor.
Quebec Health Minister Gaétan Barrette said the deadline is the single biggest issue facing all health ministers.
“Marijuana will be legalized, sellable over the web and delivered to houses … will we be all ready? I hope so for everyone,” Barette said Thursday.
He said Quebec should be ready, but asked “What do you call ready?”
Barrette said there are still no regulations about derivative cannabis products. He said it will be difficult to ensure a proper network for selling cannabis is in place by the legalization date.
