CANNABIS Report
Cannabis is the latest cash crop on the block. It is expected to surpass all other crops in Canada, including corn, soybeans, wheat and vegetables.
Since Canada legalized the plant's cultivation for recreational purposes in October 2017, cannabis is becoming big business. It is also pretty water-intensive. It uses a lot of water in comparison to other crops, unless it is grown in a controlled environment which fortunately most licensed producers in Canada have adopted.
The legalization of cannabis has also brought about constitutional concerns in First Nations circles who wish to control the sales and production of their own cannabis crops. Stay tuned as our investigative reporters look into the new cannabis reality.
