BUSINESSMAN SEES POT-ENTIAL GROWTH
TORONTO -- A licensed B.C. pot grower was in Toronto yesterday trying
to take a bite out of Health Canada's monopoly on medicinal marijuana.
Sam Mellace, 56, is allowed to grow 292 plants, which he does in a
Racle Valley, B.C., "industrial-style" operation that yields about
seven kilograms of marijuana every four to six weeks.
Mellace is seeking permission to compete with Health Canada to grow
and distribute "high grade" pot to users across Canada with doctors'
prescriptions.
"I am hoping to become Canada's first private-sector provider of
medicinal marijuana."
