How to do good manufacturing practices in micro marijuana cultivation

All we know the April 2018 announcement of marijuana. It is the biggest turn for those who were looking for marijuana business in small scale and want to produce marijuana as small as in 2153 square feet of space to. This is actually after the great move of marijuana basic license move in February 2016. Through standard one used to grow marijuana only when your space is more than 10k square feet but with the micro license you could produce less than 10k square feet of space i.e. maximum of one hundred meter square or the above said square feet size. Analyst says that the micro license move actually aimed to those people who used to marijuana illegally and they will now produce legally with license. It is hard true that costly marijuana production was not a kid’s job and now with micro license it is easy to develop. With micro license you could produce 600 kg of marijuana and that includes dried marijuana or cannabis, cannabis oil, packages cannabis. Also, the Micro cultivation license application must show the readymade marijuana facility for the license getting. This actually proves that health Canada will not give its license to anyone who is ‘ready to build’. All the marijuana should go for medical purposes. You can only use your produce marijuana – sell, donate, export, package, show,  ship only for medical purposes.

However, producing marijuana is not so easy. One must maintain good level of production practices. Cannabis must be produced, packaged, labeled, distributed, stored, sampled and tested in accordance with SOPs that are designed to ensure that those activities are conducted in accordance with the requirements of Part 5 of the Cannabis Regulations. Cannabis must not be treated with a pest control product unless the product is registered for use on cannabis under the Pest Control Products Act or is otherwise authorized for use under that Act. Cannabis must be stored under conditions that maintain its quality. Cannabis must be distributed in a manner that maintains its quality. All the type of marijuana production must be done in an environment in which the license is. This means that building or facility should be authorized for those activities. Make sure it is being produced in secured area as well and no 3rd person is getting access to it illegally. The building or part of the building where cannabis is produced, packaged, labeled and stored must be equipped with a system that filters air to prevent the escape of odors.

17.  Marijuana protects the brain after a stroke

BUT….
It does not grantee. Healthcare specialists marijuana “could cure” the above said syndromes to some extent.
Cannabis, the product which could be pronounced as weed or marijuana or Ganja as per Indian version (It was actually started inventing in India) the scientific name cannabis sativa or cannabis Indica . The cannabis business just got boom after health Canada marijuana approval in 2018. It actually envisaged following types of marijuana cultivation or farming for companies as well as individuals –
1.      NURSERY FARMING – It envisages very tiny type of marijuana production, mostly for personal basis. Upon getting approval from health specialists you can start producing in your home. As per health Canada marijuana regulatory firm i.e. Access to cannabis for medical marijuana production (ACMPR), the canopy size should not be more than 10 square meter. No more than 10 gram cannabis in total
2.      MICRO FARMING – You can say this is for businessmen or freelance level. With this license, you could have canopy space of one hundred square meter or 2156 square feet of space for marijuana farming. You need to maintain the regulations said by cannabis Canada govt and that will help you to obtain license. With this canopy size, you can farm over 600 Kg of dried marijuana a year. That is also any kind of marijuana form i.e. dried marijuana, cannabis oil or marijuana in packaged form. If you have that size of space you can start your marijuana farming as a side role business as well. This will give you profit as well. However, surely there are lots of other terms and conditions you will always have to maintain as well. Like – you cannot grow marijuana if your home and facility have the same address.
3.      PROFESSIONAL FARMING – This could be more than ten thousand square feet of canopy or more than that. That could cost million of rupees to develop and need to maintain lots of procedures for final business.
Just make sure health Canada does not give license any “ready to go” marijuana facility which simply says develop your plant 1st and then we will give you license. So, before you want to have your application make sure you have developed your facility ready as well. The following things must be covered by your facility –
Ø  For each of the above kind of marijuana farming (which actually depends on your available space) you need required space for it. Don’t increase your space, don’t decrease your space. Health Canada is too clever like you. I just said the required space for your type of marijuana license. If you have just  10 square meter then apply for nursery license and if you have 100 square meter of license then go for micro license and if you have more than 100 you can apply for professional license.
Ø  Different and separate license for separate facility. If you have four marijuana facilities in same state unless the address is same you need to apply different license for different marijuana facility as well. Make sure that your home addresses should e different in case of micro or big marijuana facility. You need to build your facility before your license gets approved. So, let’s work on building facility 1st then apply for license.
Ø  The 1st step is to put your application to health Canada and start building facility back in your home. Health Canada will accept your application and let you go through several steps and scrutinizes. If you are rejected in any step, no way to start again from where you left off. You need to start from the 1st. That is the primary challenge you required to aware about before you went to go through the application process.
Ø  The biggest challenge while you are going to set up a marijuana firm is that security building. While you are producing marijuana you need to make sure that marijuana is not going to wrong hand. That’s why health Canada wants to track marijuana as well. Health Canada will always track for your marijuana. You need to mention all these in your application – how you are dealing with marijuana stuffs , how they are being processed , making sure that no marijuana wastes are not going to wrong hand and so on.
