When Canada legalized cannabis last fall, it only allowed fresh or dried bud, oil, plants and seeds. Health Canada released its proposed regulations for edibles, extracts and topicals in December and asked for feedback.
The government plans to have regulations in place for those products no later than Oct. 17.
Proposed regulations include ensuring that a single serving would be limited to 10 milligrams of THC, the psychoactive ingredient in cannabis, and each serving must be individually wrapped.
The regulations also say the products must not be appealing to youth and the packages can香蕉视频直播檛 advertise dessert or confectionery flavours. Edibles must also not encourage over-consumption and be shelf-stable, ruling out refrigeration.
