The National Post reports in its Thursday, Oct. 25, edition that Cannabis NB has replaced images on its website of people enjoying themselves with images of chairs, a book and painting supplies after Health Canada raised its concerns last week. A Canadian Press dispatch to the Post reports that the agency came under scrutiny for its product descriptions and pictures of people smiling, posing for selfies and holding yoga poses -- images that may violate federal regulations. In a statement, Health Canada spokesman Andre Gagnon said the department is trying to raise awareness about the Cannabis Act and its restrictions on promotion. Mr. Gagnon said, "In a few cases, Health Canada has reached out to licence holders to bring concerns to their attention, or to collect information and gain a better understanding of some of the facts pertaining to their promotional activities." Spokesman Marie-Andree Bolduc says the agency did not receive any specific direction from Health Canada. "But based on this conversation and discussion, we made adjustments to some images on the website. We will be generally reviewing the website and likely be making a few adjustments in the language as well."
