Edibles / value added products (VAPs)

Testimony from a wide variety of stakeholders was decisive. Smoking is bad for your health, regardless of what you’re smoking. Legalizing a product that is predominantly consumed by smoking—but not regulating the healthier modes of consumption—is bad policy. Experts from public health, justice and jurisdictions with experience in legalizing cannabis (like Colorado and Washington) told the Committee that with a growing market share, edible and value added products would be purchased from the black market if they were not available in the legal recreational market.

“This has been a very prevalent concern raised by witnesses—that edibles should be part of C45—primarily for public health and because the black market will provide them.” -John Oliver (Liberal-Oakville) to Health Canada ADM
