Craft Cannabis Association of BC

๐Ÿ”ฅ Culture First mentioned: Ep. 096

A British Columbia advocacy organization co-founded by Joel Pikey, working to unite independent cannabis operators (MMAR holders, small LPs, dispensaries) against the oligopolization of Canada's cannabis industry during the transition from MMAR/MMPR to legalization. Advocated for community-based cannabis policy, small/medium producer inclusion, and unity between licensed producers and legacy market operators.

Joel's message at the Vancouver Hemp & Cannabis Conference: stop division between LPs and MMAR holders, focus on bridges not battle lines. Health Canada played both sides. The organization promoted a consumer campaign through summer 2016, volunteer organizing across BC, and direct engagement with municipal/provincial/federal representatives. Website: craftcannabis.ca.
