A local co-op hoping to grow marijuana outdoors says a federal bill is everything they hoped for.
The draft legislation outlines what will be allowed once recreational cannabis is legalized next year.
Todd Veri of the Kootenay Outdoor Producers Co-op says they’re delighted at its contents.
He says they were worried the legislation wouldn’t allow outdoor growing or would make it onerous.
The co-op plans to apply for a license as soon as they can and have seed in the ground in 2018.
The federal Liberals want the legislation to take effect next July.
The co-op plans to grown cannabis on farms throughout the region but process it centrally.
