Quebec Hemp and Cannabis Industry Association

The Quebec Hemp and Cannabis Industry Association (AQIC) provides its members with a forum for reflection on issues affecting the Quebec hemp and cannabis industry, and acts as a constructive interlocutor with SQDC, government authorities and stakeholders. Its goal is the responsible development of a regulatory framework adapted to Quebec, in keeping with the public health and safety objectives of cannabis legalization, i.e. to reduce the harm associated with consumption by offering quality products subject to rigorous controls, and to redirect the purchase of cannabis towards the legal economy. Its mission is also to demystify cannabis and hemp and demonstrate their full potential, whether for recreational, culinary, environmental or industrial uses, for example.
