The year 2020 was a dud in many, many ways due to the pandemic. However, it was a record year for the emerging cannabis industry. Cannabis entrepreneurs around the globe sold a record amount of cannabis and cannabis-infused products.

Unfortunately, no countries legalized cannabis for adult use in 2020, but a number of countries either allowed medical cannabis industries to launch or expand.

Rubicon Organics Inc., which runs a 125,000-square-foot greenhouse cannabis greenhouse facility on 104th Street in East Ladner, this week announced it has received its first purchase order from the Société québécoise du cannabis to sell a cannabis brand exclusively for Quebec.
