Every Monday, Chris Backer leaves his Sackville, N.S., home and heads to the north end of Halifax to give away bags of cannabis edibles. The packages include a variety of cannabis edibles. Backer, who has been a cannabis advocate for over a decade, was inspired to start the Halifax project after seeing the work of the Cannabis Substitution Project in B.C. Dr. Samuel Hickcox, an addictions specialist, says there are no experimental studies on the efficacy of cannabis substitution. Backer and the substitution program plan to continue distributing their bags of edibles throughout winter at the same location.
