from a law man...
Just had a very good discussion on this - the news is misleading; What the Supreme Court Judges ruled on was possession of edibles, extracts but they were silent on production/making/distribution - which then means it is still illegal to make/produce and distribute these products. The ruling only pertains to the sections in the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act regarding possession - not on the MMPR.
So there is not yet an opportunity to make these extract products - another court challenge is required. And the government has a year to undertake any new regulations if it desires to do so in this area - and so you can imagine with this government they won't.
So a win of sorts but not completely - only 50%. But in fairness to the Judges, they were only asked to rule on possession of such products.
