These NCS guidelines are applicable to cannabis and hemp as well as cannabis-derived and hemp-derived products.


Cultivation Operations:

It’s extremely important that you understand your operation so you may implement relevant mandates. Cannabis may be cultivated in a number of facility settings including indoors, in a greenhouse, Outdoors as a field crop, and in nursery operations as allowed by applicable legislation and regulations. Cultivation operations often produce their own planting material and, in some Cases, may be allowed to obtain planting materials from other cultivation operations, nursery operations and compliant individuals.

Processing operations most often obtain unprocessed plant material from cultivation operations and depending on applicable legislation and regulation may also obtain post-harvest plant material from other processing operations, from compliant individuals and from vendors. Most cultivation operations and or processing operations will primarily distribute raw plant material to dispensing operations and or manufacturing operations.
