An official Grand Opening event for this store and additional new corporate stores is anticipated to be done in mid-March in conjunction with the Sangster's 2019 Spring Product Flyer.

Though the passage of the Farm Bill that legalized hemp derived CBD as natural products in the US hints at a similar outcome in Canada, the company is still considering the eventuality that CBD in Canada could remain as a controlled substance, with CBD products distributed only as prescribed medical and pharmaceutical products.
