If smoking, oils or capsules aren't your favourite way to consume cannabis, there's now another legal way to do so.

Grasshopper Retail Inc.and Zaga's Hemp Shop Prince George are officially selling edibles as of Jan.2 - although the products were made legal in October. Items can include chocolates, gummies, tea, mints, distillate pens and cartridges currently.

The Government of Canada officially announced proposed rules back in December, 2019.

One of the most significant restrictions is a ban on adding alcohol to cannabis food and beverage products. There is also a ban on the addition of nicotine, caffeine, sweeteners, sugars and colours to cannabis extracts. In addition, no cannabis products can have elements that would associate it with alcohol or alcohol brands.

Both food and beverage products are limited to 10 mg of THC per container, the psychoactive component of cannabis. Concentrated THC products have a maximum package size of 7.5 grams and inhaled cannabis extracts are limited to a package size of 90 ml.

Like cannabis flowers, there are also strict rules on labelling and packaging. Additional cannabis products must be sold in plain, child-resistant packaging with labels that are not appealing to children.

"The demand has been huge. The citizens of Prince George have been waiting for a long time for legalization 2.0," says a Grosshopper Inc. representative.

Stores can carry flavours including sativa raspberry gummies, 60 per cent dark chocolate cocoa, sea salt caramel milk chocolate, spearmint chillers, bakerstreet and peppermint milk chocolate, soft-baked chocolate cookies as well as teas (each store will vary in the product.)

The edibles mostly come 10 mg/package. For example, if there are five gummies in a package, one gummy would be roughly two milligrams.

You can find Grasshopper Retail Inc. in downtown Prince George at 421 George St. while you can find Zaga's Hemp Shop at Redwood Square, 1543 Victoria St.
