Manitoba will play host to a new cannabis product line aimed at funding efforts to legalize home growing in the province.

TobaGrown is taking its fight to enable Manitobans to grow cannabis at home by launching what it claims are Canada’s first not-for-profit legal cannabis products.

The products will be available in Manitoba and the funds raised will go toward the organization’s legal fees and court costs. Any remaining profits will be donated to charity.

The federal Cannabis Act allows adults of legal age in their province or territory to grow as many as four plants per residence for personal use, but each jurisdiction has its own rules. Both Manitoba and Quebec do not currently allow growing weed at home.

Opportunities continue to crop up for a Manitoba-based hemp company that tapped into an innovative program to bolster its international reach.  

Better Hemp Company has grown a solid reputation by selling foods made from homegrown hemp seeds.

The bustling business made its first sales to South Korean companies in 2017. After that, the customer base grew to include Canada, the United States and New Zealand.

"Hemp seeds are a nutritious and versatile food that are rich in protein, essential fatty acids, polyunsaturated fats and numerous vitamins and minerals, including iron, magnesium, manganese and potassium to name a few," explains CEO Dan Kreklewich.

A newly signed agreement will allow the Manitoba Métis Federation (MMF) to take a hard look at the benefits that medical marijuana could have in treating the illnesses and ailments that many Métis people currently live with, and suffer with.

“This is important, because we know that cannabis has medicinal uses and can be powerful in helping people,” MMF President David Chartrand said.

“And we know that so many of our people are suffering, and looking for ways to stop their pain and suffering.

Number of stores more than quintupled, from 14 in October 2020 to 73 in October 2021

After a dramatic increase in the number of cannabis stores in Winnipeg over the last year, a new report asks city councillors to consider limiting where new ones can open.

Between October 2020 and Oct. 29, 2021, the number of cannabis stores in the city more than quintupled, going from around 14 to 73, according to a new report prepared for the City of Winnipeg's property and development committee.

"That's a significant jump for a city of Winnipeg's size, obviously, especially over the course of a year," Jaclynn Pehota, the executive director of the British Columbia-based Association of Canadian Cannabis Retailers, said in an interview with CBC News.

Cannabis advocate Steven Stairs suggested that added regulation could hurt sick Canadians who have a doctor’s note to grow personal cannabis.

Manitoba government says it's owed $500K from company that struggled after supply glut.

A startup company's plan to turn a tree nursery into a commercial hemp operation has gone bust.

The Manitoba government terminated its land lease last month with Botanist Organic Growers Corporation, the province confirmed on Thursday.

The company, which made no progress toward production of hemp cannabidiol, or CBD, now owes the province $500,000.

Botanist Organic Growers bought the sprawling greenhouse facility near Hadashville, Man., about 90 kilometres east of Winnipeg, from the province in 2019 for $1.43 million. The province had shut down operations at the provincially run tree nursery in 2018, saying it was losing money.

Justice Minister Cameron Friesen said this new licence would shift liability from the restaurants to third-party delivery companies.

Canada has taken on a leading role in industrial hemp production since the crop was legalized in 1998.

Initially it was grain production that took off, with food products like hemp hearts.

Other possible uses include fibre production — particularly for novel products that don’t require highly refined fibres — and nutraceuticals like cannabidiol, which became a possibility following cannabis legalization in 2018.

Why it matters: As new uses emerge for the crop, so does the need for new varieties that meet these needs, providing a new opportunity for hemp market diversification.

Residents fed up with marijuana grow operations in their neighbourhoods see a victory in a City of Winnipeg plan to limit where those operations are allowed.

A number of changes to create a new medical cannabis licensing regime are proposed in a report presented to the city's property, planning and development committee on Wednesday, following pressure by numerous residents.

Under the changes, cannabis cultivation facilities would only be permitted in manufacturing zones and would require air filtration/exhaust systems.

The changes would also require minimum setbacks between buildings where marijuana is cultivated and/or stored that are near residential properties, schools, public parks or playgrounds.
