Sales Amendment
When a processing licence is issued by Health Canada, it will initially have conditions placed upon it which will limit the activities that may be conducted, such as selling and distributing to provincially and territorially authorized retailers and the sale for medical purposes to medical licence holders.
Therefore, the next step will be to apply for an amendment of the licence to get the conditions removed so that your processing business will be authorized to sell cannabis products (such as dried cannabis and/or fresh cannabis, cannabis topicals, cannabis extracts or cannabis edibles) to provincially and territorially authorized retailers and/or holders of a licence for sale for medical purposes. An inspection by Health Canada may also be required before you receive your amended processing licence with said conditions removed.

Notice of New Cannabis Product (NNCP)
Each time a new product is developed, a notification must be provided to Health Canada at least 60 calendar days before making that new product available for sale (as is required by section 244 of the Cannabis Regulations). Based on the class(es) of cannabis being developed, certain documentation will need to be submitted for the specified number of representative lots/batches of cannabis products (i.e. packaged and labelled for sale to a consumer at the retail level).
This is ultimately how your recreational cannabis products will end up on retail store shelves.
Recreational cannabis retail regulations vary across the country, with each province and territory implementing their own rules and regulations. Generally, a Cannabis Retail Licence will be required to distribute non-medical cannabis products to adults who are of legal age.
