It's hard to believe a decade has passed since we started the CCABC. We are proud of our work to ensure consumers have access to small-scale independent producer's products, but there is obviously still much to do. Enjoy the day, and get in touch if you want to help us on our next 10-year mission to free the plant 🌱 [email protected]

How does the Craft Cannabis Association of BC define BC craft cannabis?
1. Small-scale: produce up to 3,000kg
2. Independent: 25% or less of a craft cannabis company can be owned by a non-craft entity
3. Licensed
4. BC Based

This working definition is simple, verifiable, it aligns with the definition of 'craft' used by other sectors, and it aligns with consumer's understanding of the term. We believe a simple, industry-defined and provincially supported definition could be rolled out NOW providing the framework for government programs to support small businesses.

Of course we consider craft cannabis to be artisanal, and the methods to achieving this high-quality cannabis are varied and will continue to evolve. 'Craft cannabis' produced by local 'mom & pops' is a major part of BC's cannabis legacy. Those brand stories and their unique approaches to producing high quality cannabis are the producer's to tell. We believe that if craft cannabis producers can succeed, it will benefit the entire industry in BC, Canada and indeed the world. BC in particular could demonstrate to the rest of the world how vital and possible it is to have an inclusive, equitable and sustainable cannabis industry.

Conversations regarding what makes cannabis 'high quality' are underway and will likely take some time and industry collaboration to evolve. We're here for it! It will be integral to have thriving small-scale, independent operators at the table or that eventual 'quality badge' will seem hollow.

What are your thoughts on craft cannabis? 🌿 We’d love to hear from you.
