Our primary goal is to support the development of policies that centralize the health and safety of Canadians as a fundamental priority, while also drawing attention to the issues and challenges in ‘real world’ settings, thus optimizing the response to public health and safety concerns that arise within our communities.
NICHE is an independent not-for-profit organization which strives to bring together academic researchers, government law makers, industry partners and public health partners to advocate for a collaborative, sensible and evidence based approach to cannabis legalization in Canada.
The legalization of cannabis in Canada is a complex issue with multiple stakeholders and levels of government who play key roles in developing a framework to ensure the safe transition to legal cannabis. With legalization, the focus on public safety and public health requires strategic partnerships to support research, policy, public education and new resources for health and law enforcement stakeholders.
