bc edibles

Bc edible products such as candy, cookies and beverages have been infused with the active ingredients in marijuana to create new weed products that can be consumed orally to get the same high. This type of cannabis product is absorbed by the digestive tract and enters the bloodstream where it can affect the user’s body and mind in different ways.

Legal cannabis-infused edibles are supposed to be sold in packaging that isn’t designed to appeal to children and needs to have child safety warnings on it. But copycat products have sprung up that look like everything from Sour Patch Kids and Pop Tarts to Snickers chocolate bars. And a recent Go Public investigation found that some products were being advertised as legal even though they didn’t meet Health Canada’s 10 milligram THC limit or adhere to other requirements, such as clearly listing their CBD or THC content on the package.

The Liquor Distribution Branch has issued a call for licensed producers able to supply cannabis-infused edibles, beverages and topicals to the province’s stores and websites. Successful applicants will see their products marketed across the province in both private and government-run BC Cannabis Stores.

The product call closes Thursday. The LDB says it is anticipating recreational consumers will start seeing the products on shelves in late December. But the agency warns that it could take longer than expected, depending on “a variety of factors including suppliers’ ability to fulfill orders” and ensure they have a wide range of products for customers to choose from.
