The Lawyer’s Daily recently featured Brian Kujavsky’s insights on the implications of the Québec Superior Court’s ruling striking down the provincial ban on homegrown cannabis, including a possible constitutional legal battle over the sale of cannabis edibles.

In the article (available to subscribers), Brian specifically comments on the Québec government’s draft regulation that will severely restrict the sale of certain types of cannabis edibles, including sweets, confectionery, dessert and chocolate or any others that may appeal to minors.

Brian remarks that the “federal legislation with respect to edibles is more permissive than what the proposed regulations the provincial government is purporting to restrict,” adding that “one could see a court applying the same logic to that legislation in the sense that the federal legislation allows for the sale of edibles in certain categories. There are certainly parties out there from a commercial perspective who were taken aback by Québec’s proposed regulations and who have an interest in contesting the prohibitions.”
