The Canadian government issued a license to the company on Thursday Adastra Labs can own legally produce, sell and distribute cocaineall in order to improve the safety of drug addicts in the country.

Health Canada provided companies specialized in cannabis processingpermission to become a distributor of narcotics and controlled substances, so he can interact with up to 250 grams of cocaine and import coca leaves for the production and synthesis of the substance, according to a statement from Adastra Labs itself.

“Harm reduction is a central and critical issue, and we remain at the forefront of drug regulation across the board,” said Michael Forbes, CEO of Adastra.

However, opposition to Justin Trudeau’s government criticized the measure, arguing that cocaine is “not safe” and emphasizing that “it’s wrong,” the CBC network reported.

“Cocaine is not prescribed, it is not safe and it is wrong (…) Marketing cocaine as business opportunity This is tantamount to legalizing the cocaine trade, period,” said Kevin Falcon, a member of the British Columbia Liberal Party.
