Moderated By: Atiyyah Ferouz, AgCann Consultancy.
Panel Description:
This panel brings together Indigenous cannabis producers and representatives from Indigenous cannabis commissions to share their experiences navigating a system that often fails to reflect their realities. Panelists will discuss why many Indigenous communities have developed their own regulatory frameworks, the challenges of operating without a Health Canada license, and the barriers that exist when attempting to access broader markets, genetics, and fair licensing pathways. This session offers licensed producers and industry stakeholders an honest look at the current landscape – and the need for meaningful inclusion, equity, and collaboration in Canada’s legal cannabis industry.
