Nova Scotia has its first licensed producer of cannabis in the province — the Wentworth, N.S. based Breathing Green Solutions.
Health Canada issued the license on Friday along with three other producers across the country.
Saskatchewan’s Agro-Greens Natural Products Ltd., Agrima Botanicals Corp. in British Columbia and Ontario’s Bloomera Inc. were the three new producers issued licenses.

“After four years of hard work building the facility, we are excited to have approval to grow our first crop,” said Bill Sanford, Chairman of Breathing Green Solutions, in a press release.
The company’s 35,000 sq. ft. manufacturing plant includes a proprietary growing and nutritional system.
Breathing Green is planning to have its product available to the medicinal marijuana market by mid-2018.
