HALIFAX — Some cannabis buyers are complaining the bulky packaging is environmentally unfriendly, but producers say government guidelines are to blame. “The good news is most of the product packaging is recyclable.”Rewak, whose organization represents licensed producers of medical cannabis, says the industry would like to work with the government to reduce packaging. Andrew Preeper, Nova Scotia’s cannabis legalization spokesman, said licensed producers determine their own packaging while following Health Canada rules, and the province itself has no involvement in cannabis packaging. MacDonald said she was also concerned because some of the cannabis packaging wasn’t resealable, meaning she needed to find another package to put it in. She said the excessive packaging will likely drive her to buy more cannabis in bulk, and she had been looking forward to trying different strains.
