CO2 GRO Inc. (“GROW”) (TSX-V:GROW) is pleased to announce progress to having its patented CO2 Foliar Spray technology approved for use by Canadian Licensed Producer (“LP”) cannabis companies. Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency StR Decision was that GROW’s dissolved CO2 foliar spray water on cannabis in greenhouses and/or outdoors does not meet the definition of a pesticide as per Section 2 of the Pest Control Products Act.

One stock that has been in bounce mode in recent action is MYM NUTRACEUTICALS ORD (OTCMKTS:MYMMF). The jump comes in the wake of the stock’s break down through a key support level last week. This is a very interesting pre-revenue player in the Canadian cannabis patch. The company is working with a strong balance sheet and looking to establish larger scale operations, meaning that the essential work here is as much about regulatory issues as anything else.

66 out of 371 companies currently listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange have cannabis-related businesses.

The Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE), an alternative stock exchange in Canada, has partnered with New York-headquartered the OTC (over-the-counter) Markets Group to offer early-stage companies a new initial public offering program in North America, and they are setting their cap at Israeli startups.

Breakthroughs in science and shifting viewpoints in the last decade have given cannabis room to grow as a safe, and practical plant that people can use in everyday life.

One thing that science is still showing however, is that like other psychoactive substances such as caffeine or alcohol, marijuana can have long-term impacts on memory, problem-solving skills, and critical thinking in the developing brain of an adolescent.

With Canada legalizing marijuana across the country this summer, there is some concern from parents who are worried about how to discuss cannabis with their children. The worry is that if the government says marijuana is okay, then my kids will think it’s safe for them to use. Recent studies however have shown that parents may not need to worry.

Some time this summer, marijuana will be legal in Canada.

It's already legal in Washington state and has been for four years.

But Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth warned this week that there's a significant problem looming at the border crossing, because it's still going to be illegal there.

It makes no sense whatsoever, but the U.S. federal government controls the border crossing, and marijuana is still nominally illegal in the U.S. federally.

"People (meaning, cannabis users) are going to naturally assume, on either side of the border, that they cross back and forth because it's legal in each jurisdiction," he told the house. "But the reality is it will not be legal at that federal border crossing."

With legalization of recreational marijuana just around the corner, it's important for employers to be prepared and to know where they stand.

The impending legalization of recreational marijuana presents challenging and unchartered territory for many employers in Canada. The forthcoming Cannabis Act, AKA Bill C-45, raises a number of questions regarding workplace safety and impairment, particularly for jobs that have the potential to place employees in harm’s way.

Here’s what employers need to know ahead of the law changes.

Is marijuana legal in Canada right now?

Shopify wants to dominate online cannabis sales in Canada.

The e-commerce giant recently inked a deal with the government of Ontario to handle online cannabis sales for the provincially-backed Ontario Cannabis Retail Corporation.

Loren Padelford, a VP and GM at Shopify who's charged with heading up the company's cannabis push, discussed the company's strategy in an interview with Business Insider.

The small-scale operators banking on a share of Canada’s retail pot business will soon be replaced by a handful of big chains, panelists discussing cannabis legalization said Thursday.

“In five years the real players will move in, maybe Shoppers (or others) … who understand retail and stand to make a lot of money,” said Mitchell Osak, managing director of consultant Grant Thornton’s strategic advisory practice.

“It’s likely you will get a franchise-based system here as well.”

About three-quarters of Colorado’s roughly 450 marijuana stores are now controlled by five companies, although independents remain, said Osak, who has worked with 17 licensed Canadian pot producers.

Canada's cannabis industry has exploded since the Liberals came into power in Ottawa. There are now some two dozen publicly-traded marijuana companies with a combined market value of $23 billion.

But that nascent industry will have to fight for a small share of the profits to be made from cannabis, because provinces will be taking the lion's share, says a new report from CIBC.

Canada's marijuana industry will be larger than the hard liquor market by 2020, but "the provinces will hold all the cards when it comes to distribution," CIBC analysts John Zamparo, Prakash Gowd and Mark Petrie wrote in a report released this week.
