Understanding the Role of the SQDC

The Société québécoise du cannabis (SQDC) is more than just a retail network; it is a government enterprise with a critical mandate. Its primary goal is to ensure the safe distribution and sale of cannabis within Quebec, placing a high priority on public health and consumer safety.

By providing high-quality products and essential information regarding the effects of cannabis, the SQDC works to migrate consumers toward the legal market, reducing the risks associated with unregulated sources.

Commitment to Social Responsibility

It is also important to highlight that the dividends generated from the SQDC’s net results are allocated to the Fonds de lutte contre les dépendances (Addiction Fighter Fund). Managed by the Ministère des Finances du Québec, these funds are dedicated to research and the prevention of cannabis-related harms.
