 Persistent drought conditions in Brittish Columbia, Canada, have made businesses there buckle down on their water usage. This includes the cannabis industry.
If there is no significant rainfall over the next few weeks, the Chapman Water System, which covers most of the lower half of Brittish Columbia, has requested a state of local emergency be put in place. The order would state that as of November, recreational cannabis businesses would no longer be able to receive and use water supplied by the Chapman Water System “for the purpose of growing or producing cannabis.” The medical cananbis producers would be exempt from this emergency water stoppage. There has been some rain in the forecast, but the water district said that, “The Chapman Watershed must be fully recharged in order for water regulations to be scaled back and for a State of Local Emergency to be lifted.” That means that a significant amount of rain would need to be dropped before the ban is recalled.
