www.straight.com/news/739071/ahead-legalization-lobbyists-marijuana-industry-jostle-say-ottawaAs of March 19, the federal government’s lobbyist registry listed 88 paid positions with interests in marijuana or cannabis. The companies named range from small, independent businesses like Vancouver’s Eden Medicinal Society to large corporations, including the Loblaws chain of more than 2,000 supermarkets across Canada. An analysis by the Straight revealed the vast majority of lobbyists remain focused on medicinal marijuana, while 24 can be described as focusing entirely or partly on recreational cannabis.

www.newcannabisventures.com/canadian-cannabis-rules-changes-ahead-an-industry-insider-perspective-on-mmpr-and-legalization/"We may see a surprise inclusion of pharmacies as a distribution channel. We know that the pharmacies want it and that they have been actively lobbying for it. Having the greater points of distribution will be helpful to the government when if they are sued again on the same basis of Allard – i.e. that, even with the new amendments, the MMPR is unconstitutional because it doesn’t provide sufficient access. I say “surprise” inclusion because I don’t know if the regulator has had enough time to figure out what sort of additional regulatory requirements to build in around pharmacy distribution (e.g. does the pharmacy need a bigger vault, additional security requirements etc.)."
