For the purposes of streamlining requirements, Health Canada has amended certain regulations concerning cannabis.

Canadian cannabis news site Stratcann published an article on March 12 discussing the revisions.

“The regulation changes focus on five key areas: licensing, production, packaging and labelling, security, and record keeping. The government’s goal with these changes is to address some of the challenges expressed by the industry while maintaining the key public health and safety concerns within the federal Cannabis Act.”

In the new regulations, which were made official in February and took affect last week, production limits for micros increased, and requirements for non-human and non-animal research testing decreased.

Another revision omitted the printed “Consumer Information Document” requirement that in the past had to accompany every shipment of cannabis in Canada.

There were also revisions for hemp producers.
