Edibles and topical cannabis goods are for sale at upcoming Nuit Verte, held in a "top secret" location Sept. 25.

A farmer’s market for edible pot products is cropping up in Toronto.

Toronto’s first “Nuit Verte” will be held at a “top secret” location Sept. 25. Organizer Lisa Campbell said they’re expecting about 300 people, who will learn where it is once they buy tickets online.

According to Campbell, about 20 local pot producers will be on hand to hawk their wares, explain ingredients and offer samples.

“You can go there and ask questions about the products, you can know what stream is in your product, what’s vegan or gluten free or organic, it’s very much a craft market,” she said.

 Two of Ottawa’s most popular pot shops have closed after Canada Post intercepted shipments of marijuana mailed to them from B.C.

Don Briere, the president of the B.C.-based Weeds Glass & Gifts chain, says he hopes his dispensaries on Bank Street and Montreal Road will reopen if he can figure out a way to ship the dried weed, cannabis-laced brownies, candy, concentrates and other merchandise across the country. Weeds buys the products from growers and “bakers” in B.C.

Briere said his company has been mailing marijuana products by express mail ever since he opened stores in Toronto  a year-and-a-half ago. There has never been a problem with Canada Post before, he said.

“All of a sudden, they flagged us and they started seizing the packages.”

The influential Ontario Chamber of Commerce is urging Premier Kathleen Wynne to allow recreational marijuana to be sold by government-licensed private retailers as long as local municipalities approve.

In a letter being released Wednesday, the chamber’s president urges Wynne “to immediately begin a robust consultative process aimed at developing a regulatory framework for the distribution of recreational marijuana.”

Health Canada allows nurses to administer medical marijuana, but health facilities may have other policies.

A Toronto mother whose son suffers from chronic seizures due to a rare genetic condition is frustrated that some nurses in Toronto hospitals have refused to administer cannabis oil, which she says brings him relief.

Maria Niembro, mother of 11-year-old Francesco, told CBC's Metro Morning on Monday that she has to administer the cannabis oil herself to her son, who suffers from CFC, or Cardio-facio-cutaneous, syndrome.

Last week Ottawa announced it was going to make it easier to bring in temporary foreign workers. More and more of what we produce in Canada relies on such workers. You can add marijuana to that list; and even if you don’t use it, this story involves you.

The story begins in 1974. That’s when Terrance Parker, a severe epileptic, started to treat his condition with marijuana. For Parker it was a choice between reducing the effects of a life-threatening health condition and the risk of imprisonment. In 1997 he was charged with possession and cultivation of a controlled substance.

Jordan Chambers dropped in to the Weeds marijuana dispensary on Montreal Road recently and bought a package of cannabis-infused chocolate turtles and two coconut dreamy bars.

“I think this is great,” she said of the dispensary, whose display cases are stuffed with jars of dried weed and packages of cookies, brownies and candy. Staff warned her not to eat the treats in one sitting, because they are potent. 

The federal government has warned that the marijuana products sold at illegal dispensaries such as Weeds are unregulated and could be unsafe.

As governments lay groundwork for legal recreational pot next spring, Toronto police keep raiding medicinal marijuana dispensaries and want the public to help them continue.

The pot sellers remain defiant, with one shuttered shop urging buyers to visit a sister store until it can reopen. 

Officers raided three dispensaries Monday, seizing 21.5 pounds of pot products, $15,841.05 in cash and laying Criminal Code drug charges against six men.

It was the second raid of S.W.E.D. dispensary at 1898 Danforth Ave., which was among 43 shops busted in late May when 90 owners, managers and clerks were hit with trafficking charges.

The possible sale of pot in LCBO stores has bureaucrats trying to make sense of the hazy marijuana business, taking notes on weed’s funky street names and tamping down any government hopes of a cash crop on the scale of booze, documents show.

Internal slides obtained by Global News through freedom of information show the state liquor giant pondering a range of issues surrounding weed retailing as the drug goes from black market to legit commodity under the Trudeau government’s legalization drive.

There’s a class in Windsor that will teach you to grow cannabis. 

The lounge providing it already offers patents a spot to devour their medication.

Leo Lucier, the proprietor of the lounge, hopes the federal authorities will legislate legalization in his favour.

Since hashish use for medicinal functions is a constitutional proper, upheld by the courts, Lucier, like so many others, is retaining a watchful eye for the brand new laws the Liberals should announce by Aug. 24.

And, in fact, as a substitute of merely imposing the regulation, the police are sticking their nostril into the controversy with their opinions.
