— Former British Columbia Health Minister Terry Lake has jumped from politics to the medical marijuana industry. The 60-year-old veterinarian, who was health minister from 2013 until he left politics earlier this year, says protecting young people is his biggest priority as the federal government moves to legalize marijuana in 2018. Lake says legalization will not only set a minimum age for marijuana use, but it will also ensure a higher quality of the drug. He believes medical marijuana has the potential to displace other medications like opioids. The company says it is a licensed producer and distributor of medical marijuana under Health Canada regulations.
