A batch of cannabis oil sold in B.C. has been recalled by Health Canada after the package's instructions on how to use the product were incorrect.

Health Canada says the recall involves nine lots from Voyage Cannabis Corp.'s PureFarma and PuraVida oils. They were sold through provincially authorized retailers in B.C., the health agency says. 

The problem with the instructions is on the outer packaging, Health Canada explains, which says "intended use: inhalation." Instead, it should say "intended use: ingestion," which is what the product's immediate container explains. 

Health Canada says it hasn't received any complaints about the packaging, but the company has received three. 

Vancouver-based Numinus Wellness Inc. has completed its first harvest of psilocybe mushrooms, said to be the most common psilocybin-containing mushroom.

In June, Numinus became the first publicly traded company to be issued a licence from Health Canada to produce and extract psilocybin from mushrooms.

Numinus is focused on the development of psychedelic-assisted therapies, including psilocybin, MDMA (ecstasy/molly), DMT (a hallucinogenic tryptamine drug) and mescaline. The company also operates Numinus Bioscience, an analytics and research library.
