Sask. greenhouse owners ponder pot sales
The federal government’s plans to legalize recreational marijuana has raised some questions and some possibilities for Saskatchewan greenhouse operators.
Chris Buhler, who operates Floating Gardens greenhouse at Osler, was asked to speak to the Ministry of Agriculture on behalf of the Saskatchewan Greenhouse Growers Association. He said all the operators are curious about what is going to happen when recreational marijuana is legalized.
“We would like to see there is opportunity for growers to be able to supply some of the marijuana needs in the province,” he said.
Buhler said the ministry, while offering no promises, appeared quite interested in what he had to say. Association Vice-President Gail Medernach she understands everyone will be allowed to grow four plants for their own personal use, though there are still unanswered questions.
