Highlighted among the proposed changes is that applicants may now complete one license application and obtain one license to conduct medicinal and adult-use cannabis activity. Additionally, licensees may continue to engage in commercial cannabis activities with other licensees regardless of designation as this provision is no longer limited by time. "These proposed changes to our emergency regulations are based on feedback from our stakeholders, and information gathered over the first four months of implementation," said Bureau of Cannabis Control Chief Lori Ajax.
