Lower the federally set price for cannabis to make it competitive with illegal supplies.
Eliminate requirements for excess plastic packaging on legal cannabis.
Remove the sales tax on medicinal products.
Allow outdoor production and impose organic production standards.
Exempt CBD from the restrictions of the Prescriptions List, allowing hemp growers to produce it as a natural health product. This would strengthen the hemp industry and increase supply so those who use it for medicinal purposes do not have to purchase it illegally.

Reform the process of record suspensions for simple possession of cannabis to maximize fairness and accessibility for marginalized communities, and review the process of record suspensions as it applies to other offences.
