Canadian Draft Rules for vape pens, edibles and drinks were just released December 22, 2018.
I hope we can get something released sooner but in all honesty, October 2019 at the earliest.
Inhaled cannabis extracts will be sold in packages containing no more than 1,000 mg of THC, while concentrates will be limited to no more than 1,000 mg of THC per package.
The draft rules for edibles and extracts
Must not require refrigeration or freezing
Must list ingredients and best-before date
Edibles or beverages containing THC can’t include alcohol
Caffeine can’t be added (naturally-occurring caffeine in items such as coffee permitted)
Extracts can contain flavouring agents, but not sugar or sweetener
Flavours that appeal to youth are banned on packaging and labelling of extracts
Products can’t make health or dietary claims
Rewak singled out a rule in the 195-page draft report that limits the amount of THC to 10 milligrams per edible and per package. The problem isn’t the dose limit – Denver has the same cap – but rather the requirement that each 10-mg dose must be packaged separately, he said.
“It’s just going to create . . . a lot of waste,” Rewak said. “With the supply challenges we’re facing, all that extra packaging takes time and makes it harder for us to meet that supply challenge. That’s the one thing we’re really going to be encouraging the government to reconsider during the regulatory consultation.”
