Health Canada investigating cannabis sponsorship of charity event tied to Bill Blair

Health Canada is investigating whether two cannabis companies violated advertising laws when they sponsored a fundraiser last fall for a Toronto-based charity with ties to Bill Blair, the federal minister who oversaw the legalization of the drug.

After The Globe and Mail asked about these donations and logo displays on Feb. 25, Health Canada said it had launched a review of whether this incident violated the Cannabis Act. Health Canada said it has followed up with the company to ensure it is aware of the promotions prohibitions, and it understands that Kids, Cops & Computers has removed the names of the cannabis companies from the list of sponsors on its website.

So what? Cannibis is legal and helps so many people medically
