Cannabis supply in the “medium-term” could be a concern says AGLC CEO
Recreational weed becomes legal across the country on Wednesday.
Alberta Finance Minister Joe Ceci and Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission CEO Alain Maisonneuve say they are ready for day one of legalization. They both called this day a “starting point” for the process during a press conference Monday.
Maisonneuve says, despite being ready for the short-term online and for retail stores, there could be supply concerns in the “medium-term”.
“The marketplace is going to evolve relatively quickly and we made assumptions based on our best guesses. But, as has been reported, licensed producers have expressed some concern about what their availability of product will be,” he says.
