contained in a cannabis accessory that is a cannabis product:
 (a) the residues of solvents used in the production of cannabis oil;
 (b) the contaminants referred to in section 94;
 (c) the dissolution or disintegration referred to in section 95; and
 (d) the quantity or percentage of THC, THCA, CBD and CBDA, as the case
may be.
Representative sample
 92 (1) For the purposes of the testing referred to in section 90, a
representative sample of the lot or batch must be taken.
Quantity
(2) A portion of the sample referred to in subsection (1) must be retained for at least one
year after the date of the last sale of any portion of the lot or batch and must be of sufficient
quantity to enable a determination of

(a) whether the lot or batch meets the requirements of section 81 (Pest control
product 81 Cannabis must not be treated with a pest control product unless the
product is registered for use on cannabis under the Pest Control Products Act or is

General Provisions
Substances
 93 (1) Cannabis that is a cannabis product or that is contained in a cannabis accessory
that is a cannabis product must not contain any substance other than the cannabis.
 Maximum residue limit
(2) Despite subsection (1), the cannabis may contain residues of a pest control product, its
components or derivatives, if they do not exceed any maximum residue limit, in relation to
cannabis, specified for the pest control product, its components or derivatives under section
9 or 10 of the Pest Control Products Act.
 Cannabis oil
(3) Despite subsection (1), cannabis oil may contain the carrier oil, residues of the solvents
listed in the document entitled Limits for Residual Solvents in Cannabis Products, as
amended from time to time and published by the Government of Canada on its website that
do not exceed the limits established in that document and other substances that are
necessary to maintain the oil’s quality and stability.
Microbial and chemical contaminants
 94 (1) Despite subsection 93(1), cannabis that is a cannabis product or that is contained
in a cannabis accessory that is a cannabis product may contain microbial or chemical
contaminants provided that they are within generally accepted tolerance limits for herbal
medicines for human consumption, as established in any publication referred to in Schedule
B to the Food and Drugs Act.

 Non-application — cannabis plant or cannabis plant seeds

(2) The tolerance limits referred to in subsection (1) do not apply to a cannabis
product that is a cannabis plant or cannabis plant seeds.

Dissolution and disintegration

95 Each discrete unit of a cannabis product that is intended to be administered


orally, rectally or vaginally must meet the requirements of a dissolution or
disintegration test that is applicable to its formulation and that is set out in any
publication referred to in Schedule B to the Food and Drugs Act.

Maximum yield quantity — discrete unit

97 Each discrete unit of a cannabis product that is intended to be administered


orally, rectally or vaginally must not exceed a maximum yield quantity of 10 mg of
THC, taking into account the potential to convert THCA into THC.

 Cannabis Oil
Maximum yield quantity

 101 Cannabis oil that is a cannabis product or contained in a


cannabis accessory that is a cannabis product must not exceed a
maximum yield quantity of 30 mg of THC per millilitre of the oil, taking
into account the potential to convert THCA into THC.

Maximum yield quantity — Activation of accessory

 102 Each activation of a cannabis accessory that dispenses cannabis


oil and that is packaged with a cannabis product that is cannabis oil
or of a cannabis accessory that contains the oil, if the oil is intended
to be taken by ingestion, must not dispense more than a maximum
yield quantity of 10 mg of THC, taking into account the potential to
convert THCA into THC.
