Cannabis Regulations (SOR/2018-144)

Marginal note:Maximum number of plants

• 325 (1) If the production area is entirely indoors, the maximum number of cannabis plants that may be under production at a production site by virtue of a registration is determined by the formula

  [(A × 365) ÷ (B × 3C)] × 1.2

  where

  A

  is the daily quantity of dried cannabis, expressed in grams, indicated in the medical document that forms the basis for the registration;

  B

  is 30 g, being the expected yield of dried cannabis per plant; and

  C

  is a constant equal to 1, representing the growth cycle of a cannabis plant from seeding to harvesting.

• Marginal note:Outdoor production only

  (2) If the production area is entirely outdoors, the maximum number of cannabis plants that may be under production at a production site by virtue of a registration is determined by the formula

  [(A × 365) ÷ (B × C)] × 1.3

  where

  A

  is the daily quantity of dried cannabis, expressed in grams, indicated in the medical document that forms the basis for the registration;

  B

  is 250 g, being the expected yield of dried cannabis per plant; and

  C

  is a constant equal to 1, representing the growth cycle of a cannabis plant from seeding to harvesting.

• Marginal note:Indoor and outdoor production

  (3) If the production area is partly indoors and partly outdoors, the maximum number of cannabis plants that may be under production at a production site by virtue of a registration is determined

  • (a) for the indoor production period, by the formula

    [(A × 182.5) ÷ (B × 2C)] × 1.2

    where

    A

    is the daily quantity of dried cannabis, expressed in grams, indicated in the medical document that forms the basis for the registration,

    B

    is 30 g, being the expected yield of dried cannabis per plant, and

    C

    is a constant equal to 1, representing the growth cycle of a cannabis plant from seeding to harvesting; and

  • (b) for the outdoor production period, by the formula

    [(A × 182.5) ÷ (B × C)] × 1.3

    where

    A

    is the daily quantity of dried cannabis, expressed in grams, indicated in the medical document that forms the basis for the registration,

    B

    is 250 g, being the expected yield of dried cannabis per plant, and

    C

    is a constant equal to 1, representing the growth cycle of a cannabis plant from seeding to harvesting.

• Marginal note:Rounding

  (4) If the maximum number of cannabis plants determined under this section is not a whole number, it is to be rounded to the next highest whole number.
