There may be some relief for Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation cannabis stores who are running low on supply.
A Nova Scotia cannabis grower has received a sales licence from Health Canada.
Biome, the Canadian company that owns Highland Grow https://www.biomegrow.com/highland of Antigonish County, tweeted Monday that the license will allow the company to sell cannabis products to end consumers through appropriate medical and recreational cannabis channels.
NSLC spokesperson Beverley Ware tells Acadia News they’ve been in contact with the company as recently as Monday.
“We’re really pleased that a second Nova Scotia licensed producer has now received its license to sell cannabis to us. We’re now in contact with Highland Grow It’ll take them a little bit of time likely to get their product shipped to us but it should be in the quite near future that we’ll have their product on our shelves.
Last week Finance Minister Minister Karen Casey said that Nova Scotia is getting only 35 to 40 per cent of the cannabis it needs to meet demand at government-run outlets.
Frank McMaster, the president of Highland Grow tells says they’re gearing up to get their product to market.
“We’re still waiting for some testing on some of our products and we’re hoping to get the results very soon so we can send a good quantity to the NSLC.”
McMaster hopes to get that product into the NSLC by the New Year, hopefully even before Christmas.
Breathing Green Solutions of Wentworth https://breathinggreen.com/was licensed shortly after legalization on October 17.
