Quebec-based Hexo Corp. said unlicensed cannabis was grown inside a Niagara facility it acquired from Newstrike Brands Inc. earlier this year.


In a release late Friday, Hexo said that once it discovered that unlicensed cannabis was being cultivated in “Block B,” a room inside a building formerly owned and operated by Newstrike, it immediately “ceased cultivation and production activities” in the room and notified federal regulators. Hexo acquired Newstrike Brands in March for $263 million.


Hexo said that a site inspection conducted in February by Health Canada prior to the acquisition found no observations or concerns from the regulator about the cannabis grown in the unlicensed “Block B” space. Hexo said that the inspection report “reinforced the assumption that it was indeed a licensed growing space,” but also destroyed all inventory on-site.


“Upon discovering that cannabis was being grown in an inadequately licensed area of the Niagara facility we immediately ceased all activities and notified Health Canada. While we are disappointed with what we uncovered, we assume responsibility for any issues with [Newstrike’s] products prior to the acquisition,” Hexo chief executive officer Sebastien St-Louis said in a statement.


A Health Canada spokesperson wasn’t immediately available for comment.


Hexo’s statement comes four months after CannTrust Holdings Inc. was found to have grown thousands of kilograms of cannabis in unlicensed rooms at its Pelham, Ont.-based facility. As a result of that infraction, Health Canada seized nearly 5,200 kilograms of dried cannabis and the company instituted a voluntary hold on approximately 7,500 kg at another facility.


CannTrust fired CEO Peter Aceto with cause soon afterward, demanded the resignation of chairman Eric Paul, and formed a special committee tasked with probing the regulatory scandal. In August, CannTrust said Health Canada found that its Vaughan, Ont. manufacturing facility was also non-compliant, and issued a suspension of its ability to grow and sell licensed cannabis a month later.


Hexo said it is disclosing its unlicensed cultivation after becoming aware that “false information” was being spread to allegedly damage its reputation.


“Hexo felt that it was diligent to ensure factually accurate information was available to its stakeholders,” the company said in a statement.


The company shut down its Niagara facility last month after laying off 200 people as part of a cost-cutting measure to move closer to profitability.

As I said before, precedent has been set with CannTrust being the first company caught doing this and faced ZERO reprecussions aside from a TEMPORARY suspension. Now everyone else can come forward or do the same with ZERO reprecussions as well. YAY SELF REGULATION!

Zero repercussions? Canntrust is going to go bankrupt and their license was suspended in September. Self regulation? Have you seen how hard it is to open a cultivation or retail store?

Illegal dispensaries get shut down all the time in Vancouver and nobody goes to jail. You said "zero repurcussions" going broke is a big repercussion. Nobody goes to jail for weed anymore, suits or dealers.

Man I've seen how ACMPR guys grow, their stuff is way dirtier than the LPs. And it's all ACMPR stuff that goes to grey market dispensaries. Good quality in terms strength, but the fact is the LP regulated stuff is actually cleaner. Their stuff is shite for other reasons. Terps, moisture, cure, strain etc yeah criticize those dimensions sure, but like I said LP product is cleaner than plenty home grows, ACMPR or black market product.

As they should go bankrupt. Perhaps I should have said legal repercussions, it is true after all. HC has stated they will get their license back if certain conditions are met. Had any Canadian citizen grown thousands of plants and got busted under the new laws they most certainly would face jail time. That's fact.
