With new amendments to the Cannabis Act and the Cannabis Regulations, the legal sales of edible cannabis, cannabis extracts and cannabis topicals will begin soon. So, what does this mean for you?

 

The new regulations will give authorized distributors and retailers access to three new classes of cannabis products:

  • Edibles (candy, baked goods)
  • Cannabis extracts
  • Cannabis “topicals” (ointments, oils, makeup)

 

According to Health Canada, federal cannabis license holders must provide Health Canada with a 60 day notice of their intent to sell the new products. That means that the earliest edibles will be available in stores is December 17.

 

Edible cannabis, whether food or beverage, will have a maximum allowance of 10 milligrams of THC per package. Cannabis intended to be inhaled or used topically will continue to have a cap of 1000 milligrams of THC per package.
