Editor’s Letter/
Growing Pains
I
n late December, a couple of months after legalization, I had dinner with a friend who I hadn’t seen in a while. It was here that I revealed I was in the process of developing a trade publication for the Canadian cannabis marketplace, what would later become Cannabis Prospect Magazine. After an initial bout of support and congratulations the discussion quickly turned to comments that varied from reticence to downright skepticism. In hindsight his criticisms weren’t entirely without merit. After all what was once a decades-long illicit market had become legal seemingly overnight and, at the time, the retail rollout of recreational cannabis was still very much in its infancy. More likely though was the idea that his friend was ditching the nine-to-five in lieu of starting a business in an uncertain industry. On a more macro level his concerns boiled down to “aren’t you worried that the bubble is going to burst?” At the personal level, “Are you sure you want to put all of your eggs in one basket?” With the federal election resulting in a Liberal minority a collective sigh echoed throughout the Canadian cannabis marketplace the following morning. While it was unlikely a Conservative win would result in a dissolving of the Cannabis Act, there were definite fears that such a win would stifle or rollback the the bill’s current resolutions, or make it more difficult for licenced producers, retailers, entrepreneurs and stakeholders to operate in this space. Let me be clear. This ‘What-if’ scenario is pure speculation. There’s no telling how a Tory-led government at the federal level would proceed with cannabis. It also didn’t help that the current state of cannabis wasn’t on any major political party’s platform going into the election. One way or another cannabis is here to stay. Whatever the post-election results, there’s no going back, and no putting the genie back in the proverbial bottle. And with the first wave of derivative products hitting the shelves this month, a Liberal win federally would at best ensure another four years to fill in the many gaps when it comes to the cannabis industry.

Cannabis Prospect Magazine | December 2019
Four more years to rollout more recreational cannabis stores nationwide, and hopefully make it easier for provinces that allow independant brick-and-mortar stores to operate in a free, competitive market. Four more years to conduct medical research as it relates to cannabinoids and ensure better accessibility to medical patients. Four more years to ensure that people previously charged for cannabis-related offences are released from prison and have their records (as it relates to those cannabis offences) expunged. Last but not least, four more years to amend current laws in the Cannabis Act when it comes to advertising, packaging and other various provisions to ensure greater competition for LPs and their brands.

FIVE STEPS IN
micro-Licensing Craft cannabis startups in particular will need to be savvy and creative if they wish to become successful microprocessors. They will need to prove to wary investors that cannabis production can be better at a smaller scale by experienced operators. By Manny DaSilva
T
he cannabis rush has created a plethora of cannabis cowboys eager to cash in on a volatile industry that’s still in its infancy. Large corporate entities are vying for the same market share. Many factors – including the lacklustre performance on product offerings and crashing stocks of many of these companies – have proven that (unlike the saying “It’s just a weed, anybody can grow it,”) producing cannabis is not as simple as it has been portrayed. Many provinces also lack the vision to allow a free and open market to flow product into retail outlets to service the masses. On October 18, 2018, Health Canada created the micro sector, consisting of microcultivation and microprocessing. This new category was established to provide legacy growers with a springboard from the grey and black markets into the legal one. These craft growers are responsible for producing high-quality, unique strains that consumers have become accustomed to buying from dispensaries. Many are seeing this move as a blessing for both legacy growers and consumers in search of quality craft products. Although the premise of a business legally growing cannabis is very enticing, it’s not without pitfalls. In fact, it’s laden with both huge obstacles and heartbreak for some individuals. In this article, I will lay out experiences from both myself and other people I have encountered over the past two years as we’ve ventured into the legal micro cultivation/processing world. I’ll also discuss the stages to become licensed. Much of the information is available online, but is neither easy to find nor to decipher. I have broken the process into five steps. 1. Self Analysis »» »» »» »» »» »»
What cultivation experience do I possess that will help me to succeed? If I do not have any real experience, do I know an experienced individual who is willing to partner with me or to be employed as a master grower? What is my current financial picture? Can I afford to personally fund an operation? Will I need financial backers or partners? Which licence or licences do I want to apply for?
Microcultivators are restricted to 200 square metres (2153 square feet) of canopy space. ‘Canopy space’ is described as the area where your plants will sit, rather than the square footage of the actual room or build10

ing. Microcultivators can only sell to licenced producers, not consumers. A microprocessor is limited to purchasing 600 kg of dried flower for processing per year. Businesses with this licence type can sell both B2B (to licenced producers) and Business to Consumer (B2C). If you apply for both licence types, you can do both B2B and B2C and will no longer have a 600 kg limit. The route you choose depends on what your main goal is. Both ways have their pros and cons. Most lending institutions will not provide funding for cannabis operations. This situation leaves you to raise capital from private donors or partners. The regulatory requirements from Health Canada are not for the lackadaisical and require constant attention. The implementation of SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) is an ongoing task in itself. Be prepared to dedicate a lot of time to regulations and staying compliant. It’s no wonder that LPs have people dedicated to this aspect of the business. Are my investors or anyone in my company clear of any criminal charges or police interaction of any kind? Health Canada has put in place a system of deep background checks for all security personnel that will require a clearance. This process is not the same as a criminal conviction background check. It is conducted by the RCMP and involves all levels of police – federal, provincial and municipal police records. Who needs a clearance? The master grower, head of security and QAP all require clearances. Anyone that is a director of the corporation, sole proprietor, member of a partnership or has 20% or more ownership in the company must be declared on your organizational chart. If any of the above individuals have been in the presence of another individual or group that has committed a crime, or is suspected of being involved in a criminal organization (a police report must exist), those people will be denied a clearance. This situation could result in your entire application being denied. Each security clearance will cost you $1600 per person. 2. Finding a Property Finding a property or existing building to retrofit can be a daunting task. It can be costly when you have to hire planners and survey compa-

Making sure that the proposed site meets all the criteria and can be issued the required zoning to comply with bylaws can be an exercise in patience. Being creative at some points comes in handy. If you find a site that complies with all the bylaws, you now need to make sure that it possesses the two most basic needs to run a cultivation operation: water and hydro. This task is not so much of an issue for micro processors. However, micro cultivators running HPS or CMH lighting, air conditioning, dehumidification and other equipment with a 200sqm canopy operation will need 600A/600V 3 phase power. LED lighting – although more cost efficient on hydro – has an upfront cost three times greater than traditional lighting and will require less service amps to run. You should test your water, whether the source is from the city or a well. I recommend implementing a charcoal filtering system at a minimum. 3. The Building Site Health Canada and your municipality will have a variety of requirements for your operation, whether it is indoor or outdoor. I strongly urge anyone that plans to venture into this business to request as much information as possible from both Health Canada and your local municipality. The information can be difficult to decipher, and you may incur unplanned costs that balloon your budget. Here are some points that Health Canada looks for regarding indoor facilities. For surfaces (such as floors, walls and ceilings) select materials that are durable, able to withstand repeated cleanings that don’t promote microbial growth. Panels made from plastic (like Trusscore) or light steel are acceptable materials. While some individuals have had success with drywall and ceramic paint, I wouldn’t recommend this option. Epoxied floors tend to be a popular option and are accepted by Health Canada. HVAC, which may be one of the most expensive items, can be accomplished in a variety of ways. Working with a professional company in this industry is key. By ensuring that you have proper airflow, cooling, dehumidification and filtering in your building, you can prevent contaminants – like powdery mildew – from devastating your crop. You will also need to consider site security. For example, you may want to construct an eight-foot-tall security fence topped with one
foot of barbed wire. People have presented conflicting information as to whether you need a fence or if the walls of your building are adequate. Personally, I like the insurance of having a fence to protect both the product and individuals who work in the facility. 4. Supply Agreements Microcultivators can only sell B2B. If you apply for both licences, you will need to pass two consecutive certified and audited grow cycles in order to be issued a sales licence. Selling your crop can be a tricky minefield to navigate. After spending over a million dollars to reach licence issuance, you will want to start recouping that money. Many companies will try to lowball you for your craft product in order to resell it at prices two to three times higher than what they offer you. Comparing commercial scale cannabis to craft product is like comparing a cigarette to a fine Cuban cigar. Some respectable companies – like Pasha Brands – work mostly with micros and can provide comprehensive pricing and application support as you navigate through the regulatory space.
all be packaged and sold in the 12 months after the licence is obtained. The financial security requirement is calculated as follows: [(1,000,000 grams × $1.00 per gram of dried cannabis) + (1,000,000 milligrams contained in the total THC of the cannabis oil × $0.01 per milligram)] ÷ 12 The applicant would need to provide financial security in the amount of $84,167.” That’s the short version of the journey to becoming a micro cannabis licensee. In closing, I urge everyone to do their due diligence and continually ask questions. Good luck and good growing!

5. Licence Issuance Congratulations! You have reached your final destination on the rollercoaster of legal cannabis licence acquisition… NOT SO FAST. Even though Health Canada has issued you a licence, you can’t start producing a single plant until the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) assesses you for participation in the Excise Stamp Program. However, as a B2B seller, you are not required to apply the excise stamp. On average, microcultivators can expect to supply the CRA with a non-refundable $5000 security deposit. If selling B2C, microprocessors must apply excise stamps and will pay larger deposits based on Health Canada’s formula, which can be found on its website: “A new cannabis licence applicant expects to sell approximately 1,000,000 grams of dried cannabis and will produce cannabis oil with a total THC of 1,000,000 milligrams that will December 2019 | Cannabis Prospect Magazine

GROWING A CULTURE OF INCLUSIVITY ELEVATING THE LEADERSHIP OF WOMEN WITHIN THE CANNABIS INDUSTRY By Anna Marie Lavelle, VP, Talent & Leadership Development Solutions and Amalia Jimenez, VP, Talent & Leadership Development Solutions – LHH Knightsbridge
LHH Knightsbridge recently hosted a roundtable with cannabis industry representatives dedicated to mentoring and empowering women in the industry. The discussions focused on how to foster a culture of inclusivity and elevate more women into leadership roles.
I
nitially, leadership opportunities for women in cannabis were good. With few barriers to entry, some entrepreneurial grit and access to funding, it was relatively easy to enter the industry. A survey by Marijuana Business Daily showed that in 2015, women held 36% of C-suite positions, competitive with representation in other female-friendly industries such as real estate and education, and better than the global cannabis average of 25% [1]. So, the opportunity to see better female representation in cannabis leadership roles seemed promising. By 2017 however, female representation percentages in leadership roles had dropped to 27%. More recently, a 2019 report by Vangst (a US cannabis staffing organization) showed that only 17.6% of cannabis industry women surveyed had a director or executive role [2]. In Canada, men still manage most cannabis companies with only 21% of women in executive roles [3]. This is explained in part by men in corporate-level management positions migrating from related, albeit male-dominated, industries, while another key blocker is women’s limited access to venture capital funds, twothirds of which are still dominated by teams with no female leaders [4]. The challenges raised in LHH’s roundtable discussion reflect the trends above. While there are high-profile cannabis companies currently headed by female CEOs, overall, these are exceptions, and the industry is still figuring out how to demonstrate more inclusivity. Recruiting women to the industry and building a sustainable female talent pipeline is key. While promoting inclusivity for women remains a challenge in the cannabis industry, there is increased pressure to address the situation with daily headlines as it relates to gender equality, recruiting women into STEM industries and creating safe workplaces. These issues, in addition to evolving gender diversity in the cannabis space, need to be addressed sooner rather than later. Based upon LHH’s research and work with global clients, many organi12

zations are frustrated by the low impact of initiatives to attract and advance women in their workplaces. Why are so many organizations missing the mark? Why are continued efforts failing to move the needle when it comes to promoting women into leadership positions? How can the cannabis industry address these shortcomings before it falls into the trap of so many other established sectors? LHH partnered with HR People + Strategy to explore what works around inclusivity, and what has had the most impact on moving women into leadership roles. We were interested in knowing to what extent advancing women in the workplace was to a company’s overall corporate mandate, so we asked respondents, “to what extent do you believe that advancing women in your organization is a critical business issue?” Remarkably, 82% believed that it was critical, however, only 28% were satisfied with their organization’s efforts to elevate women [5]. What we do know is that there are no simple solutions, and most organizations require a more comprehensive approach when it comes to addressing these issues. Our survey looked at three areas: 1. 2. 3.
Individual Behaviours: What were the mindsets and behaviours of successful women in the cannabis space and how did they succeed in elevating their own careers into leadership positions? Workplace Culture: What workplace initiatives were important in championing female talent and that women in leadership roles attributed to their success? Organizational Practices: What programs and/or policies helped advance women in the workplace?
With respect to individual behaviours, we found that women in the ‘extremely satisfied’ organizations demonstrated all of 13 specific behaviours
and beliefs more frequently than those in ‘unsatisfied’ organizations. The top five distinguishing factors that female respondents mentioned include the following: »» »» »» »» »»
A clear and shared career plan Ability to self-advocate An ability to influence the corporate-level above Delegated work to focus on more strategic initiatives A belief that there are no barriers to advancement
To better understand which factors contributed to a more gender-inclusive culture, we asked respondents to think about their organization’s current culture, and how it supports elevating more women into leadership roles. The following are the top five factors contributing to feeling satisfied with progress on inclusivity: »» »» »» »» »»
Diversity and inclusion are core parts of the culture and values and not viewed as a special HR initiative Leaders are committed to gender diversity and taking action to demonstrate it The organization recognizes and leverages senior female leaders as role models The organization is known as a good place to work for females Leadership provides equal opportunities and creates a consistent experience for all

Using hiring, promotion and succession practices free of gender bias Providing leadership skill development training Addressing pay equity Offering flexible work arrangements
We also learned that it is not just the availability of programs that was important, but the actual adoption by employees. Employees need to feel that they can truly access programs without repercussions. Programs will have the greatest impact when people leaders are seen demonstrating their support for them. Finally, returning to cannabis, the op“Based upon LHH Knightsbridge’s research portunity to raise the importance of elevating women into leadership roles is critical and work with global clients, many to the ongoing success of the industry.

Adopting practices and behaviours outlined above women in their workplaces. Why are so will shift the current gender imbalance and many organizations missing the mark?” enable this young industry to thrive by leveraging the talents of everyone.
Interestingly, the very ‘unsatisfied’ organizations had a complete absence of gender-inclusive culture as described in the factors outlined above. Additionally, we explored what managers do to support an inclusive culture and champion women into leadership roles. In fact, organizations that were ‘extremely satisfied’ with progress being made had managers engage in the below-listed behaviours twice as much as managers in ‘very unsatisfied’ organizations. These top five differentiating behaviours include: »» »» »» »»
Finally, we explored what organizational practices expedite women’s movement through the leadership pipeline. Practices were defined as “the broad variety of programs and formal processes that seek to attract, develop and advance women”. Organizations that were ‘extremely satisfied’ mentioned having the following distinguishing practices in place:
Creating inclusive opportunities to network for everyone Giving females exposure to senior leaders and decisionmakers Providing coaching and feedback that builds business acumen Having career and coaching conversations that challenge women’s negative self-perceptions Challenging themselves and others around unconscious biases and holding others accountable

THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF ERP AND HOW IT CAN HELP LICENCED PRODUCERS
By Chris Milan, VP of Sales at NexTec Group
A
s the cannabis industry in Canada continues to make strides, licenced producers are looking forward to a more streamlined and efficient process to tackle challenges that have invariably cropped up in the past year since legalization. Some of the main areas of concern include inventory management, tracking compliance mandates and accurate and insightful financial reporting, all of which call for some robust business management solutions. Enter ERP. What is and How Does it Work for Licenced Producers An integral part of all modern businesses across the spectrum, ERP (or Enterprise Resource Planning) is business management software with a suite of integrated applications that a company can use for data collection and management to enhance the performance and growth of its business. Implementing the right ERP software has proven benefits for an organization, which include: »» »» »»

Cannabis Prospect Magazine | December 2019
Improving all aspects of a company, through operational efficiencies, a better understanding of production costs and increasing profits Significantly increasing the value of a business for owners and investors alike resulting in a more professionally run business Gaining relevant insights from data collected which enables executive leadership to make strategic decisions, taking the guesswork out by utilizing key performance indicators to make an informed decision In an industry like cannabis with multiple moving pieces, the right ERP software
could be a game-changer for the organization that implements it. Here are the top 7 reasons why licensed producers should invest in the right ERP software for their organizations: Ensuring compliance: In the cannabis industry, the issue of compliance is nonnegotiable. Health Canada outlines strict rules under the Cannabis Act and Cannabis Regulations according to which, licenced producers must stick to the rules when it comes to manufacturing best practices, maintaining quality standards and keeping a record of every aspect of their operations. They also need to be available and accessible to regular compliance reporting; failure to meet these standards might result in the loss of a cultivator’s license. A robust cannabis-centric ERP system ensures that all licensing requirements are up to date; from seed-to-sale tracking to plant management, to scalable and comprehensive materials tracking, every aspect is compliant and secure. Seed-to-sale traceability: For a grower, it is crucial to keep track of the movements of the seed and/or the plant from the instant it arrives. ERP software helps with managing grow activities like nourishing plants with fertilizer or trimming them and scheduling production so that the grower or producer doesn’t miss a deadline making the production process seamless. Additionally, the RFID or barcode feature reduces manual entry, reducing labour costs. Cost optimization: The key to any successful enterprise is cutting costs while increasing efficiencies. An all-service ERP system tracks in real-time, some of the major financial KPIs like cash flow, profits and sales. This data is the key to making insightful decisions with regards to a host of issues like inventory management and
distribution costs among others. Real-time reporting also enables the LP to increase efficiency and therefore reduce waste by keeping track of unused or slow-moving inventory.
“As the cannabis industry in Canada continues to make strikes, licenced producers are looking forward to a more streamlined and efficient process to tackle challenges that have invariable cropped up in the past year since legalization.” Supply Chain Management: The right ERP software will help a company manage the supply chain process, which includes warehousing and logistics, handling inventory, forecasting demand based on current sales and conducting future modeling. The software can also track actual production versus the estimated production of particular strains, which provides additional data to growers or producers in terms of balancing their demand and supply. Integrating Operations and Finance: ERP software creates a single system that manages both finance and operations within an organization. It helps to track critical data metrics like what kind of strain is being produced and delivered, or what is the cost of production, packaging and delivery. ERP software can provide processes and online tools that capture the data in a reader-friendly manner, generating audit reports as required.
Data Security: Since an effective ERP system brings together all aspects of a company (finance, human resources, supply chain management and customer relationship management among others) under one single system, managing data security and access protocols becomes simpler. An ERP system with sophisticated permission protocols will ensure that critical data is safe while allowing employees convenient access to work at the jobs specifically assigned to them. Standing out: With increasing competition between cannabis companies who may have overlapping products and services, staying relevant with consumers and standing out from the crowd is imperative. Having the right ERP software in place provides an organization with additional data and insights, which gives it a competitive advantage over others in the cannabis space, setting the stage for it to become a world-class company. An efficient ERP system can integrate growing and production processes, including planting, cloning, harvesting, drying, processing, packaging, marketing, sales and product recall management. It also gives a wholesome snapshot of all the critical aspects of the cannabis business in one single system, including tracking cultivation, production, inventory, finance, sales, compliance and customers. Now more than ever, when the cannabis industry is expected to grow exponentially in the coming year, it makes good business sense for licenced producers to embrace cannabis technology like ERP to manage their compliant business and improve drastically on efficiency and output.

Only the Best Sites
will grow
By: Frederic Abenaim
President of iMotion Security. Since 1999, our company has established itself as one of Canada’s leading full-service security providers; when cannabis became legal in October 2018, it was only natural for our company to assist growers, distributors and retailers in their security needs. iMotion has set the standard for superior service and quality personnel, in accordance with Health Canada regulations, laws and best practices. Due to the nature of grow sites, they are among the most targeted locations for crime. An entire crop and the loss of extremely valuable finished products can be potentially wiped by a single theft, not to mention the damage that can occur to other important mechanisms, such as irrigation and lighting systems. Producing and/or storing cannabis poses a risk to the companies growing it, and to employees in these sites as well. Hence, considering a robust and versatile design of security solutions is crucial to obtain in the early site stages, this is only achieved through partnering with a team of experts. Our team, with a clear vision and mission, can design a comprehensive security solution that will ensure the protection of your cannabis sites. Our engineers have combined the best technologies from the largest and long-standing manufacturers in the market. These technologies, once unified on an integrated platform, become a winning recipe for a dynamic industry constantly evolving.

Cannabis in Workplaces/
Cannabis May Be Legal, But it’s Not Allowed in Most Workplaces New Study Finds Recreational Cannabis Impact in the Workplace Lower than Expected
N
early one year after cannabis legalization in Canada, a new study from Ipsos, commissioned by ADP Canada, reveals most Canadian workplaces don’t allow recreational cannabis before, during and after work. Most working Canadians (86%) say their employer does not permit recreational cannabis use and only a fraction (8%) say cannabis use is allowed during the workday. These findings are in line with a similar study conducted by ADP in 2018, where 6% of Canadians thought they would be allowed to use cannabis during work hours or before coming to work. The study found that recreational cannabis had a smaller-than-expected impact on workplace performance. Most Canadians believe recreational cannabis has had no impact at work in terms of health and safety incidents (75%), productivity (74%), absenteeism (71%) or quality of work (70%). This is in stark contrast to opinions held prior to legalization in 2018, when nearly half of working Canadians expected productivity (46%) and quality of work (43%) to decline, and health and safety incidents (55%) and absenteeism (40%) to increase. Within the small number of working Canadians (8%) who say their employer allows the use of recreational cannabis, 63% are consuming it before work, 47% are consuming during work hours and 72% are consuming after work. However, when looking at Canada’s working population at large, the survey finds that only a fraction of Canadians consume recreational cannabis before work (5%), during work hours (4%) and after work with colleagues (6%).
“There was a lot of uncertainty and hype leading up to cannabis legalization last year, but so far, cannabis has not had a noticeable impact on the workplace or on workplace performance,” said Hendrik Steenkamp, Director, HR Advisory, ADP Canada. “Although only a fraction of Canadian workplaces allow cannabis during the workday, it’s important for every organization to develop proper workplace guidelines and policies, as well as provide training to identify and manage impairment.” There remains a disconnect between managers and non-managers on both acceptance and consumption of recreational cannabis during the workday. Though 80% of Canadians say they are either fully or somewhat aware of expectations surrounding legal recreational cannabis use, managers (86%) are more likely to fully understand their organization’s policies than non-managers (74%). Respondents in Atlantic Canada were most likely to be aware (72%) of their organization’s expectations and Quebecers were the least likely to be aware (56%). Additionally, managers are more likely to believe that cannabis is accepted in the workplace (13% compared to 3% of non-managers). Canadian attitudes toward recreational cannabis have not changed significantly since legalization - nearly half of participants (46%) claim their perception of cannabis has not changed at all and 22% say their perception of cannabis is more positive. Positive perceptions on cannabis are highest in Ontario (27%) and Atlantic Canada (22%). With the legalization of recreational cannabis edibles, extracts and topicals in Canada
having become legal on October 17, it is likely that many workplaces will be reviewing and revising their policies regarding cannabis use. However, over half of Canadians (55%) say they do not believe this impending legalization will change their employer’s expectations around impairment. Managers (37%) are more likely than non-managers (23%) to expect a change in their employer’s expectations. Regionally, this opinion is most prevalent in Alberta (35%), Ontario (33%), and British Columbia, and least held in the Prairies (17%) or Atlantic Canada (20%). Survey Methodology These are some of the findings of an Ipsos poll conducted between August 30 and September 18, 2019 on behalf of ADP. For this survey, a sample of 1,160 working Canadians aged 18 and over were interviewed. Weighting was then employed to balance demographics to ensure that the sample’s composition reflects that of the population of working Canadians according to Census data and to provide results intended to approximate the sample universe. The precision of Ipsos online polls is measured using a credibility interval. In this case, the poll is accurate to within ±3.3 percentage points, 19 times out of 20, had all working Canadian adults been polled. The credibility interval will be wider among subsets of the population. All sample surveys and polls may be subject to other sources of error, including, but not limited to coverage error, and measurement error.

ers go after they visit a dispensary, clinic or CBD/hemp retailer? What else are they interested in beyond cannabis?” The answer lies in the physical movements of the consumer. These insights can help inform a licence producers’ strategy in areas like product development, cross-promotional marketing and competitive situational analysis. With access to information about where consumers have been before a cannabis purchase and their location post-purchase, LPs will be able to craft more targeted strategies and curate better customer experiences. In a fast-paced industry like cannabis, this information also enables the LP to stand apart from a competitor offering similar products and experiences. Behaviours and habits such as where customers prefer to hang out, shop, eat before or after making a cannabis purchase give useful data on potential and relevant affinity partners as well. Tracking this behaviour also enables the LP to draw up more informed strategies.
Privacy and Data Security Privacy is a top concern of today’s consumer. Data from our computers and connected devices are being tracked and stored on the servers of data companies, mobile operators and internet service providers all over the world. GroundLevel Insights acquires anonymous bulk data from hundreds of suppliers and turns it into insights that consist of audience groups represented by industry averages and percentages. What this means is our AI platform’s outcome is never on specific individuals’ information but rather the behavioural patterns of anonymous groups. For example, rather than saying, “Your consumer ‘John’ visited a burger store today,” the results can identify “35% of your cannabis retailer consumers visited a burger shop directly after visiting your store today.” Who is the Customer? The cannabis industry has several data platforms with plenty of information that show stakeholders what products they sell, how much money they make, the size of their market share and the average transaction size. However, there’s very little information about the behaviours of cannabis consumers and what informs their buying choices. To build out nuanced and intimate profiles of cannabis consumers, it then becomes vital to have answers to questions like “What
kind of food do they like? Where do they go for their morning coffee? What is their morning routine on a workday like as opposed to the weekend?” New movement data science platforms are using cutting-edge and industry-leading AI to turn anonymous consumer location data that is collected from various reliable sources into real-time insights and analysis of the cannabis industry. The Importance of Behaviour-specific Data In related consumer-facing brand categories like consumer packaged goods, hospitality and tourism, vast amounts of data are mined to inform everything from product development to market sizing and targeting. Cannabis is a relatively nascent industry with unique challenges like strict regulatory limitations and varying provincial laws. The need for targeted data in such an industry becomes even more essential. There’s also a distinction to be made between what a medical cannabis patient needs and what a recreational consumer wants. An LP will need to market medical cannabis products to healthcare professionals in a vastly different manner than it will to recreational cannabis consumers. The cannabis industry requires the same amount of rigorous data mining as any consumer-facing industry. Specific issues like: “Where do my consum-
The Road Ahead Despite Canada’s top four cannabis companies - Canopy Growth, Tilray, Aurora and Cronos Group - underperforming in terms of quarterly earnings which resulted in a dramatic drop in shares for some fo them, the Canadian cannabis industry is expected to grow over the next few years. With the onset of legalization 2.0, as edibles, extracts, topicals and beverages hit the legal market, demand for cannabis-infused products from both seasoned consumers and new “canna-curious” consumers is likely to go up. Cannabis consumers are also demanding more tailored experiences to suit their varied needs, be it recreationally or as a medical patient. In this scenario, cannabis companies and producers who embrace innovation will likely succeed in this already crowded space. Growers and manufacturers with genuine knowledge about cannabis and its potential, armed with personalized and customized information on product preferences, will have a leg-up over their competition. In an industry with strict guidelines around branding, messaging and marketing, data-centric insights can help cannabis companies prevision and react to consumer behaviours and preferences quickly and effectively. The fact that the cannabis industry is changing and moving at a rapid pace is no secret. The time is ripe for Canadian LPs to reinvent themselves by incorporating solid consumer behaviour data and the insights gained to make more informed, strategic decisions for the growth of their business.

Clinical Trails in the
CANNABIS INDUSTRY An Emerging Approach
By Andrew Gregg BHSc., RHN, Clinical Scientific Affairs Associate at dicentra Cannabis Consulting
C
linical research involving cannabis has had a challenging history; until very recently (and arguably still) it remains an area of clinical research characterized by historically heavy regulation and seemingly endless regulatory barriers. The small amount of research produced is often limited as a result of these constraints, with final data and literature leaving many wary even still. The clinical research of cannabis has evolved rapidly in recent years, and continues to be an area of significant expansion with an increasing number of countries leading a wave of new cannabis legislation and the subsequent research that is now permitted and, in many cases, required. Health Canada recently announced that over 195 cannabis research licences have been granted to date, and an amended risk-based approach to triage applications has resulted in a significant increase in licensing process speed. Clinical Trials Ontario confirmed in its September report that there are “approximately 60 cannabis research studies currently underway across Canada, more than half of which are taking place in Ontario.”¹ Through its consultation with Canadians last summer, Health Canada sought to gather input and feedback from those who may be interested in purchasing, manufacturing or selling – what it termed, “cannabis health products”² (CHPs). This consultation with industry stakeholders and the public ran from June 13 to September 3, 2019, with no conclusion put forth by Health Canada at this time of writing. “Following the consultation, Health Canada intends to gather external scientific advice on the appropriate evidence standards required to demonstrate safety and efficacy.”² It can be reasonably assumed that conclusive statements 22
Cannabis Prospect Magazine | December 2019
will be released by the agency no sooner than early 2020. It remains to be seen, following the outcome of the consultation and the external scientific advice being gathered now, how emerging regulations will shape the future direction of cannabis research in Canada. With Health Canada now seeking expert opinion on the “appropriate evidence standards required to demonstrate safety and efficacy”² of CHPs and similar cannabis-containing products, what is poised to become one of the largest sectors of cannabis-related clinical research remains largely undefined as these evidence standards of “safety and efficacy” will be the central focus of this research. As clinical trials for cannabis drugs and cannabis use for specific medical indications continue to progress through slow-but-steady pharmaceutical phases in the background, it is these yet-to-be-seen clinical trials that will be required to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of cannabis. That said, nutraceutical ingredient interactions and the mechanisms of action in these novel nutraceuticals will shape the cannabis clinical research landscape most significantly. Advancements in the areas of formulation and delivery will see even more research come as a result of newly-approved classes of cannabis derivative products, cannabis-containing natural health products and dietary supplements. As PwC Canada recently reported, “pharmaceutical companies wanting to develop prescription cannabis products have been forced to focus on specific active pharmaceutical ingredients or API’s (e.g., tetrahydrocannabinol [THC] and cannabidiol [CBD]) to adhere to strict, traditional drug approval pathways. The limitations of this approach are not only that it
“As clinical trials for cannabis drugs and cannabis use for specific medical indications continue to progress through stepwise pharmaceutical phases in the background, at a dull roar as they have for decades, it is the yet-to-be-seen clinical trials that will be required to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of cannabis.”
requires substantial investment, but also that the therapy loses the entourage effect of the plant, thereby reducing its therapeutic efficacy.”³ This invites the question: with infinite combinations of phytocannabinoid-terpene ratios, will the clinical exploration of the entourage effect lead us down an endless path of continued uncertainty, perpetuating heavy regulation of the very compounds we wish to research? An additional layer of both regulatory and clinical complexity comes from regulating and capturing, respectively, the entourage effect in newly approved classes of cannabis products whereby the research is further complicated by a food matrix, in edible products for instance. The burden of evidence for the approval of these proposed products remains to be defined, however, we can be certain that it will lean towards the highest burden of proof, demanding significant growth and innovation in all aspects of clinical trials for proposed cannabis health products. Of course, there are recruitment challenges abound in clinical research, and this is not expected to change despite the increasingly widespread use of cannabis among Canadians. However, there currently exists a much larger and more accessible population for the continued research of cannabis, more specifically, a leading edge of research required to demonstrate safety and efficacy of novel cannabis-containing health products.

Ontario
The Ontario Cannabis Store (OCS) is taking steps to engage with federally licensed producers and authorized retail stores on their perspectives in increasing private sector participation in the delivery of recreational cannabis to stores across Ontario. During the month of October, the OCS conducted both in-person and online consultations with its commercial partners in an effort to fully explore the viability of delivery models that could leverage greater involvement from licensed producers in the storage and transportation of product to authorized retail stores.
Manitoba
Premier Brian Pallister says that his government will make it illegal to consume marijuana edibles in most public spaces. Pallister said he believes current legislation will block that use but, if it doesn’t, his government will amend the law to fix that. Manitoba’s current cannabis laws ban recreational smoking or vaping of the drug in virtually all outdoor public spaces, including beaches, parks, streets, sidewalks, outdoor entertainment venues and other spots. Smoking and vaping were also banned in most indoor public places.
Alberta
One year past the end of cannabis prohibition, Calgary already has more cannabis stores — 66 — than any other city in Canada, with Edmonton second at 48, and more than 300 across the province already. Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis has green-lighted 306 retail outlets across the province, a number that will likely grow by 200 by 2021.

Quebec
In early November Quebec Premier François Legault used its provincial majority to pass Bill 2 which will raise the legal age to consume and purchase recreational marijuana from 18 to 21. The change will come into effect as of January 1, 2020. The Quebec government’s contentious cannabis legislation that will impose some of the strictest rules in Canada has been adopted by the province’s National Assembly. Many industry groups are criticizing the law as most provincial jurisdictions for the legal consumption of recreational cannabis is 18 or 19.
Saskatchewan
In a press release, Minister Responsible for the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) Gene Makowsky said now that a year has passed since the drug was legalized, a new approach is needed to address the increase in demand from cannabis consumers in the province. On October 29, the province outlined its plan to move forward with a phased-in open market system for cannabis retail permits. The SLGA will begin accepting applications from communities with populations under 2,500 in April 2020, and by September of next year, the provincial regulator will have a province-wide application process.
British Columbia
According to a recent article in Marijuana Business Daily, British Columbia plans to add a 20% tax on retail sales of cannabis vapourizer products. The province’s proposed increase to its sales tax is intended to restrict vapour product access, flavors, nicotine content, packaging and advertising, the province announced. The B.C. government introduced legislation to increase the sales tax last November. The new rate will take effect Jan. 1, 2020, pending a public comment period and legislative approval.
Prince Edward Island
Sundial Growers Inc. has successfully entered the Prince Edward Island market. Its products will be available in all four PEI. Cannabis locations, as well as on its e-commerce platform, with five product lines: Calm, Ease, Flow, Lift and Spark. The first products available to PEI. consumers will be Lemon Riot and Citrus Punch, two sativa-dominant hybrid strains under Sundial’s Lift product line. Sundial is also the proud owner of the premium cannabis brand Top Leaf, which is expected to be available in PEI. in the near future.
Newfoundland & Labrador
According to a recent CBC article, the Canopy Growth growing facility in St. John’s is slated to be up and running by spring. Jordan Sinclair, Canopy Growth’s vice-president of communications, said its growing facility in St. John’s is slated to be up and running by spring. As part of the agreement, Canopy Growth pledged to build a production plant on the northeast Avalon and will create 145 jobs.
Nova Scotia
The NSLC experienced a solid second quarter with total sales for the second quarter (July 1 – September 29, 2019) of $203.7 million, an increase of 11.8% over the second quarter of the previous fiscal year, primarily due to cannabis, which generated $18.2 million in sales. Nova Scotia produced cannabis accounted for 19.9% of cannabis sales this quarter. Retail customer transactions for cannabis totaled 538,752; with an average dollar value of $33.76. Modifications to its 12 cannabis stores commenced to accommodate edibles, extracts and topicals, which the stores expect to begin offering in late December.
New Brunswick
Cannabis NB released its unaudited results for the second quarter from July 1, 2019 to September 29, 2019. Total sales of legal recreational cannabis for the quarter were $10.7 million. Key result trends for the quarter were: online sales represented 1.1% of sales for the quarter at $0.1 million, in-store sales represented 98.9% of sales for the quarter at $10.6 million, dry flower sales represented 84.5% of sales for the quarter at $9.1 million, extracts sales represented 11.3% of sales for the quarter at $1.2 million, seeds sales represented 0.1% of sales for the quarter at $ 0.07 million, with accessories sales represented 4.1% of sales for the quarter at $0.4 million.
Yukon / Northwest Territories / Nunavut Currently the Yukon territory has three recreational cannabis stores in operation: Triple J’s Canna Space, Dawson City Cannabis and Fire & Flower. Northwest Territories Liquor and Cannabis Commission (NTLCC) released its unaudited results for the second quarter from July 1, 2019 to September 29, 2019. Total sales of legal recreational cannabis for the quarter were $934,370. Key result trends for the quarter were: online sales represented $3,678 of sales for the quarter, dry flower sales represented 92.8% of sales for the quarter at $867,164; extracts sales represented 2.6% of sales for the quarter at $24,372, seeds sales represented $1,114 of sales for the quarter, with cannabis capsules sales represented 4.5% of sales for the quarter at $41,718. Come December, the Nunavut Liquor and Cannabis Commission said the new derivative products will be able to be bought in the territory from its licensed vendors (the Tweed store, owned by Canopy Growth Corp. of Smith’s Falls, Ont. and Vertical Cannabis, owned by AgMedica Bioscience Inc. of Chatham, Ont.). The edible cannabis, cannabis extracts and cannabis topical products do not yet appear on these companies’ websites.

C
annabis has come a long way in Canada. While federal legalization has taken the industry to new heights here, many cannabis connoisseurs and patients have been waiting eagerly for “Cannabis 2.0.” In this next phase, consumers can finally set aside their pipes, bongs and blunts in favor of vaporizers, edibles, capsules and topicals if they prefer these more convenient options. Early indications are that there is a massive demand in the Canadian market for all of these products and they have one thing in common - they require extraction, a quickly advancing technology that is transforming the cannabis industry. The extraction processes used to create vape cartridges, edibles and concentrates have evolved rapidly over the last few years in tandem with legalization. However, despite its newfound popularity, there are many people who don’t really know what extraction is, and why extracted products are generally considered safer than smoking.
Why extraction?
Extraction is necessary to remove, purify, isolate and concentrate select compounds from the plant. It gives us the ability to retain naturally occurring ratios or customize specific formulations, while also removing the impurities that can negatively affect a user’s experience. When done correctly, extraction can result in pure, isolated compounds or natural, full-spectrum extracts.
So, what is extraction?
Extraction is the laboratory process through which THC or CBD (or other cannabinoid) oil is extracted from the cannabis or hemp plant and concentrated to various levels of purity. One size does not fit all in this context and different types of output and different levels of purity are required for differ28
Cannabis Prospect Magazine | December 2019
ent end products. In “Cannabis 2.0” for example, where many of the new product formats require certain aroma and flavor profiles, a more purified product called a “distillate” is required. Once the oil with the desired level of purity is achieved it can be packaged into vape cartridges or capsules, or processed as a tincture or topical, or used to make edibles, beverages or other products. Extraction is a necessary step in removing, purifying, isolating and concentrating active compounds from the plant. If done correctly, the output will maintain the integrity of the targeted compounds, while losing the unnecessary impurities. THC and CBD aren’t the only compounds in cannabis and hemp plants. There are more than 100 cannabinoids, which could have potential uses yet to be discovered through scientific research. Added to that are more than 140 terpenes, the aromatic compounds that give cannabis its fragrance and flavor.
How does extraction work?
Extraction uses temperature, pressure, solvents, and time, all in a controlled manner, to access one or many of the cannabinoids, flavonoids and terpenes present in cannabis. There are many ways to extract (we’ll get into more details on that later). Temperature combined with pressure is used to squeeze out the oils from the plant. Solvents like CO2 are also often used to pick up and transport the compounds from the plant into a solution, which is further processed to remove impurities, resulting in pure compounds.
From Soil to Oil
Extraction results in a more concentrated product, which can be detrimental if the cannabis plant contains toxins or heavy metals (which can be
drawn up from the soil by the plant) prior to processing because many of these toxins are also picked up by the solvent during the extraction process. This is similar to the potential accumulation of mercury in fish, as fish oils are also concentrated into Omega capsules for human consumption. Much like quality fish is needed to produce quality fish oil, quality cannabis has the best chance of resulting in quality extracts. For this reason, extraction must be backed by rigorous scientific testing and undergo quality control from the start.
Extraction 101
We don’t believe there is one cannabinoid or terpene that rules them all. We also don’t believe there is a single best way of using cannabis. With the ability to isolate desired compounds and ‘package’ them into numerous products, the natural next step for cannabis lies in the versatility of oil. That said, here is a quick overview of the five main types of extraction and the benefits of each:
Solvent Based Extraction: Different solvents bind to cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids in different ways and with various levels of efficiency. As such, it is important to have the desired end product in mind before selecting the appropriate type of extraction.
filtered water, ice and dry ice (in the case of rosin) to extract, and then heat and pressure to create a clean, full spectrum product.
Centrifugal partition Chromatography (CPC): A service for the future of targeted molecules. As we get closer to understanding what cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids are responsible for certain effects, being able to isolate specific molecules and remove others will be imperative to the future of cannabis product offerings. CPC is a mechanical method that effectively separates compounds from each other to move towards 99%+ purity levels of desired compounds.
Is it safe?
Yes. Extraction occurs in labs compliant with Canadian law and is conducted by engineers and chemists with advanced degrees. Extraction uses a range of temperatures and pressures, and often includes flammable solvents, so the process and the equipment must be in strict adherence to safety standards. Without extraction there would be no vapes, edibles, capsules or tinctures. In the case of vaping, many of the impurities are removed that would have entered the lungs through smoking. In the case of capsules, tinctures or edibles, we are able to fully eliminate the need for lung inhalation.
The Future of Extraction
There is a rising demand for specifically dosed processed products like vape pens, beverages and edibles for their discreet use and predictable effects. As a result, the extraction industry is poised for incredible growth in the coming years. While the art of good flower remains an important offering for those who prefer to smoke, extraction is what cannabis looks like in the 21st century. It is integral in the process of leaving behind the social stigma of cannabis by giving it a new method of delivery and a whole new look that fits the needs of patients and consumers in the rapidly expanding population of cannabis users. Jeff Fallows is the President of Valens GroWorks
CO2 is very effective particularly when it comes to creating full-spectrum oils for capsules, tinctures, vape pens, etc. It’s commonly used as an industrial solvent for things like coffee, tea and vanilla. It’s safe, affordable, recyclable and environmentally friendly.
Ethyl Alocohol is most commonly used to
satisfy high throughput requirements such as extracting CBD from hemp. It is proven effective and efficient. With expectations of hundreds of hemp farms and thousands of acres coming online, this will be an important aspect of the industry to service. It can be worked with in bulk, and it’s cost-efficient and highly scalable.
Hydrocarbon extraction (Butane [BHO], Pentane, Propane) is a very delicate form of
extraction that is very effective for concentrates, high-quality resin vape pens, as well as shatters and sauces that people have come to love in neighboring markets south of the border. It’s proven to bring out the full characteristics of the plant as well as user experiences that are similar to smoking in flower format. Although products produced by hydrocarbon extraction are experiencing significant growth, hydrocarbonbased solvents are quite volatile and require special care when being used to ensure the safety of operators and the whole extraction team. Here at Valens, we’ve created an OSHAand NFPA-compliant Class 1, Division 1 Booth (the only one of its kind in Canada) and we are dedicated to both the safety of our employees and to the output of a premium product.
“Cannabis has come a long way in Canada. While federal legalization has taken the industry to new heights here, many cannabis connoisseurs and patients have been waiting eagerly for ‘Cannabis 2.0.’ In this next phase, consumers can finally set aside their pipes, bongs and blunts in favor of vaporizers, edibles, capsules and topicals if they prefer these more convenient options.”
Solventless Extraction: A method that has been used since the dawn of man. There are a lot of craft cannabis makers out there who prefer this method and its sister-method – rosin pressing – which is one of the cleanest methods out there.

The Tokyo Smoke and Holt Renfrew brand intersection offers a unique and groundbreaking opportunity for both retailers, who share the same approach to thoughtful and intentional design.

Acquiring a retail cannabis store franchise is speculative. There is no assurance that you will be granted a licence, registration or authorization to sell cannabis products or operate a retail cannabis store in your province or municipality. We will not permit our franchisees to open a Spiritleaf franchise until such time as the operation of that business within the province and municipality where your business will be operated is legal and you have received all valid authorizations from all applicable governmental agencies to do so.
