Original language of petition: English
Petition to the House of Commons
- There are limited legislation and regulations in regards to the commercial use of cannabis within the food and beverage industry;
- The $8.16 billion dollar cannabis industry could expand and create entirely new job opportunities across Canada, growing the economy;
- Making it possible to provide a safe environment for those who wish to enjoy a vast variety of cannabis consumables;
- Allowing the government to regulate this new industry by regulating the quality of products, ensuring the best possible safety regulations and standards are in place, benefiting consumers;
- Allowing those struggling with medical health issues that use cannabis to assist with their conditions in a broader market spectrum, and keep the financial gains out of the pockets of criminals, from the illegal sales of edible cannabis;
- The regulation of a public cannabis consumption market in restaurants and cafés would make it more difficult for youth to obtain illegal infused cannabis consumables, potentially containing higher or dangerous levels of cannabis;
- Helping those that consume cannabis for medical (Crohn's, cancer, Alzheimer's, epilepsy, Parkinson's, chronic pain, MS, AIDS, and many more) and recreational purposes to do so as safely as possible; and
- There are overall health benefits.
