B.C. has finalized rules to allow federally licensed medical-marijuana grow operations on protected agricultural farmland.
The changes forbid municipalities from passing bylaws that would prohibit licensed grow-ops on the Agricultural Land Reserve. The Township of Langley had proposed such a bylaw in 2014, but the province shot it down.
Health Canada approves and regulates medical marijuana growers.
The government said Thursday the amendments respect the federal government's policy on medical marijuana production, and also provide consistent rules and bylaw standards for all B.C. municipalities.
Medical marijuana farms will have to be set back at least 150 metres from any school or park property line and 30 metres from any water course. They will also have to meet other size and setback rules.
