The provincial government is looking for more people from which to buy cannabis.
The B.C. Liquor Distribution Branch has announced a second product call in an “effort to expand its wholesale product assortment for non-medical cannabis.” It has already entered into memorandums of understanding with 32 licensed producers.
Recreational cannabis will become legal in Canada on Oct. 17.
The LDB is looking for producers of dried cannabis (including pre-rolls), cannabis oils, capsules and seeds that comply with federal requirements. The product call will be in effect from Aug. 13 to 31.
Submission documents are available here.
The LDB also announced Friday that it will be implementing a 15 per cent markup on cannabis’ landed cost, which is the total price of a product or shipment once it has arrived at a buyer’s doorstep.
