British Columbia Government Urges Cannabis Consumers to Use Legal Market

The British Columbia, Canada government is urging cannabis consumers to purchase legal cannabis after finding contaminants in confiscated unregulated cannabis, Marijuana Business Daily reports. The issues were detected when the province’s legalization and regulation secretariat ordered the testing of dried flower seized from illegal dispensaries in Vancouver.

According to the report, legal cannabis sales in Vancouver are the lowest in Canada.

Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General Mike Farnworth told reporters last week that “the samples went to a federally licensed lab for testing, and the results are concerning.”
