Firstly I'm so sorry it's an NST link - their news portal is infested with annoying ads that affects readability.

Secondly, I wish our journalists did the work to provide more context. Why is this an issue? What was the objection??

thank you so much! if that's the case, then i'm not sure what's the exact phrasing/grounds for the objections from the 'health ngos'.... is it the ratio/volume? hmm...

Probably because the delisting is not follwed by any effort to make it a controlled substance at least? Just my guess.
