Para-Athlete Tyler Mosher Wants Canada To Reconsider Its Regulatory Cannabis Framework

The Paralympian Snowboarder hopes Canada will allow the sale of non-psychoactive CBD products outside of dispensaries to expand access and profits.

Two-time Paralympian and World Champion Para-athlete Tyler Mosher isn’t happy with Canada’s regulation of CBD products and hopes the government will reconsider selling wellness-based medicine outside of dispensaries and cannabis stores. 

But what led him to this conclusion? It was a brisk winter day in Whistler, British Columbia, when Mosher, former world champion snowboarder, shattered his spine off a cliff in 2000. After creating a landscaping and design business in the area, he told outlets that this form of “semi-retirement” kept him comfortable. 

When running the business into his mid-40s, Mosher thought it was a better time than ever to switch things up again, heading to Queen’s University for his Executive MBA and launching a business in the thriving cannabis space. 

Now, Mosher is the chief of business development at B.C. Hop Company Ltd., Flow Scientific Ltd., and Kinloch Naturals, three companies that cultivate and manufacture premium hemp-derived CBD products, reports Financial Post

Mosher explained to the Post that “We are trying to be everything, but the THC guys.” Although he has no complaints about the thriving THC sector of North America’s cannabis industry, Mosher and his companies are becoming clear players with plant-based anti-inflammatories that utilize the healing powers of CBD in a yummy chocolate bar. 

Instead of putting your health into the hands of Big Pharma that’s only in it for the economic gain, Mosher hopes his products, harvested from farms in B.C. and Ontario, will give consumers the relief they’re looking for. 

Mosher says he wanted to create a company surrounding plant-based medicine after taking cannabidiol to increase his range of “movement,” he told Financial Post. He added that Canada’s total cannabis sales could grow far past its current position at $4 billion, considering the country is only three years into recreational legalization, and CBD might lead the way. 

Rishi Malkani, who looks over Deloitte Canada’s cannabis practice, told outlets that “There is clearly a consumer segment of the cannabis market that is more focused on health and wellness.” Malkani explained that it’s evident how the market would “expand dramatically if you could access CBD products outside the regulated cannabis market.”

This is precisely what Mosher and his companies are trying to lobby. “Why you can’t buy a bath bomb with CBD in it at Walmart is beyond me,” Mosher explained. 

He concluded that he has “empathy for Health Canada because they are trying to keep everyone safe, but on the one hand, they are saying, ‘If you are over 19, you can buy CBD at this store, and you are safe, but if you buy it elsewhere, you are unsafe.’ It makes no sense.”
