Sunshine Earth Labs said in a statement it received permission from Health Canada to "legally possess, produce, sell and distribute coca leaf and cocaine," as well as morphine, MDMA (ecstasy) and heroin.

Its announcement comes on the heels of a similar licensing arrangement offered in February to Adastra Labs, which had until now focused on crafting cannabis extracts.

Adastra's license also allows it to produce and sell psilocybin and psilocin -- hallucinogens more commonly known as magic mushrooms that produce effects similar to LSD.
 

He said Adastra did not have permission to sell cocaine on the "open market," while Health Canada said the firm could only sell to other licence holders, and its licence is for "scientific and medical purposes only."

"Health Canada has contacted the company to reiterate the very narrow parameters of their licence," the federal agency said in a written statement. "If the strict requirements are not being followed, Health Canada will not hesitate to take action, which may include revoking the licence."

On Friday afternoon, Adastra retracted its statements regarding the Health Canada approval.
