Canada’s 1 Million Square Feet Of Medical Marijuana

As of June 2015, there is currently approximately 800,000 square feet of approved medical marijuana production space in Canada, spread out across 25 different facilities from Vancouver Island to New Brunswick. If one factors in the future production capacity of just these currently approved, we see well over 1 million square feet of GMP compliant and/or pharmaceutical-grade medical marijuana production facilities across Canada. This number doesn’t include several very large facilities in the application process, applicants like Supreme or Woodstock in Ontario orVida in Nova Scotia or Zenabis in New Brunswick, or hundreds of other prospective producers across the country still making their way through the approval process.

The Majority of this approved space is in Ontario, with almost 59%, at 478,000 sq ft, with Saskatchewan, BC and Alberta in a distant 2, 3 and 4 position. These numbers reflect a similar breakdown in patient totals per province. Hover over the chart...
