"Not allowing edibles would have sent the wrong message to the public, possibly inviting many consumers to consider the black market for a healthier choice."

Given the array of chemicals approved by Health Canada for spraying on MJ by large scale Licensed Producers (Actinovate; BIOPROTEC CAF; Bioprotec PLUS; Botanigard 22 WP; Botanigard ES; MilStop Foliar Fungicide; Rootshield(R) WP Biological Fungicide; Vegol Crop Oil; Bio-Ceres G WP; Influence LC; Prestop; Sirocco; Agrotek Ascend Vaporized Sulphur; Neudosan Commercial; Opal Insecticidal Soap; Kopa Insecticidal Soap; Rootshield HC Biological Fungicide Wettable Powder) the chances of government-sold MJ being "healthy" are slim.
