Health Canada looking for firm to grow its medical marijuana

Do you know how to grow pot? Canada is looking to put the project out to bid... so it can be bought directly from Health Canada instead of the continued licensing of home grown products....maybe a little tax money to be made here too...anyway, there is an incumbent supplier who will also need to re-bid the process as there are rules and regulations as to what type of pot is acceptable and certified...must be an interesting job to certifying weed but we have folks that do that here in the US too....BD

The department served notice Monday it will soon invite firms to bid on a contract to cultivate and distribute medical marijuana, which is now being done in Flin Flon, Man., by Prairie Plant Systems Inc.
The winning firm will be expected to deliver a steady stream of government-approved dope to certified medical, users starting in the fall. The winning firm could wind up in the advantageous position of one day being the sole supplier of medical marijuana.
Health Canada posted a notice on a government tenders website saying it would put out a formal request for proposals in the spring of 2008, without specifying a date.
