A comment about Sifthouse. Perhaps this has already been discussed and I overlooked it; so, sorry in advance if I’m bringing up an old matter that’s been resolved.
Over the past few months I’ve noticed some posts, mostly on the other board but some here as well, about the difficulties faced by growers seeking a craft cannabis license and the limitation the license carries.
Early in the announcement of the new license being offered by Canada, the terms craft cannabis or craft grow was being intertwined with the term micro-cultivation. For quite a while the three terms seemed inseparable.
Then in the September 2018 shareholder letter Berman announced the investment in Sifthouse BC. He referred to Sifthouse as a craft cannabis company; which led many, including myself, to conclude they will be applying for a craft cannabis/micro-cultivation license.
Slowly over time since the new Canadian license was announced the government has changed its wording when referencing micro-cultivation. They no longer seem to imply that craft mean micro. More so that craft mean a unique strain and micro means small. Makes sense when speaking in terms of beer. Sam Adam’s is a craft brewery but is not a microbrewery. So Sifthouse can be a craft cannabis grower but not as a micro-grower.
If Sifthouse was looking at a 10,000 square foot building and currently in negotiations to secure a 5,000 square foot space with potential for expansion, then it’s obvious they will not be applying for the micro-cultivation license that limits the canopy grow area to 2,153 square foot.
Lastly is the pics Berman put on twitter on December 6th of a cannabis grow with the text “Sifthouse technology at work in Canada. These are all plants grown with Sifthouse proprietary property. Buds to plants in 9 weeks; Amazing”.
I’m not sure what that was all about since Sifthouse doesn’t have a license to grow. I don’t want to get caught up in speculation; however, there are a few explanations. One is Sifthouse, or what will become Sifthouse, may have been working with a grower who has a license.
Another possibility is these are pics of cannabis that Sifthouse was growing for the Canadian grey market. Not necessarily a bad thing since the Canadian government is currently reluctant to shut these operations down. They’ve stated they want to work with these operations to help them become legal because they are already established and knowledgeable in cannabis grow operations.
I’ve stated several times that Sifthouse can not apply for a license until they have a building. If these are pics of a Sifthouse grow location, legal or not, then they already have a building and need only to meet the remaining requirements to apply for a license. It’s possible those requirements have already been met and the license application submitted. The 5,000 square foot space being looked at may be in addition to the space Sifthouse already occupies.
