Edible Arrangements: The Global Cannabis Edibles Market

  • The global cannabis edibles market is one of the most promising segments of the overall industry, presenting a world of opportunity for cannabis edibles companies to set themselves apart with unique and appealing products.
  • For cannabis connoisseurs, cannabis edibles have always been an alluring proposition.

For cannabis connoisseurs, cannabis edibles have always been an alluring proposition. Take something you already enjoy, and add it to something delicious. What’s not to like? The classic “special brownie” and the famous “space cakes” that have been enjoyed at Amsterdam coffee shops for decades are only just the tip of the edibles iceberg. Today, cannabis is being added to candy, artisanal baked goods, coffee, jerky, pizza, upscale cuisine and so much more, meaning the possibilities are endless for the global cannabis edibles market.

It’s no surprise that the Canadian legal cannabis industry is hungrily eyeing cannabis edibles as they promise to account for a huge portion of the overall cannabis market as soon as Health Canada allows it. In the meantime, however, this highly promising market segment faces some significant regulatory challenges. That won’t stop companies from taking an interest in edibles, as they already make up a huge portion of the market in legal jurisdictions where they are allowed, such as California and Nevada.

Edibles to take cannabis market by storm

The consumer appeal of edibles is obvious. The sheer amount of variability creates countless possibilities for cannabis companies looking to make their products stand out. Edibles can be tailored to any type of cannabis consumer, from high-end dark chocolates served at posh dinner parties to gummy candies enjoyed before a rock concert. It’s easy to make edible cannabis products eye catching and appealing. For newcomers trying cannabis for the first time after legalization, edibles may provide a less intimidating entry point than smoking or vaping. And medical users often appreciate the stronger and longer-lasting effect of orally ingested cannabis.

An October 2018 report by ArcView Market Research and BDS Analytics projects the North American cannabis edibles market to hit more than $4.1 billion by 2022. According to the report, food and drink products accounted for approximately 11.4 percent of total cannabis spending in Canada and the United States in 2017. As the cannabis market matures and develops, and as edible products return to dispensary shelves in Canada, classic dried cannabis flower is expected to steadily lose market share to edibles and extracts.

Regulatory challenges and solutions

Right now in Canada, though, the more immediate future of the cannabis edibles market is less certain. Edibles were not included in the first wave of cannabis legalization that took place in October 2018, with Health Canada opting to conduct further study and consultation before rolling out regulatory rules by October 2019. This put a wrench in the gears for the hundreds of cannabis companies that had made edibles a key part of their initial business strategy. In early 2019, Health Canada began a two-month public consultation period as part of the process of determining the edibles regulatory scheme. By all accounts, the restrictions are likely to be heavy. Chief among the rules will be restrictions on potency and mandates on accurate potency labeling.

The concerns over potency and accurate labeling aren’t entirely unwarranted. Cannabis edibles have always been tricky in the way they hit the user. Cannabis ingested through the digestive system can take an hour or more to for the user to notice the effect, and inexperienced users have commonly been known to make the rookie mistake of taking more under the belief that they haven’t taken a high enough dosage. Due to the intense nature of edible products, the appeal of edibles to inexperienced cannabis users in particular can be a recipe for disaster. Excessive dosage of cannabis is not highly dangerous in that it will not cause poisoning or other health emergencies, but cannabis-related panic attacks can still present a risk.

This is why cannabis companies that plan on making edibles a significant part of their business model have dedicated considerable resources to developing precision dosing technology. The challenge stems from the fact that the rate in which cannabis breaks down as it enters the bloodstream varies significantly based on a number of factors, including the specific physiology of the consumer.

Recent years have seen the development of tools for manipulating cannabis at the molecular level for greater bioavailability, allowing edibles manufacturers to provide a more predictable product for easier regulatory compliance and greater consumer trust.

Regulators have been placing a range of other regulatory hurdles in the way of the edibles market. Health Canada is expected to enforce tight restrictions on edibles packaging, limiting the use of colorful graphics and other eye-catching elements largely with the intent of limiting the products’ appeal to children. Packaging will also need to be child resistant. Regulators in various jurisdictions have often restricted potency, with Health Canada expected to limit products to 10 milligrams of THC per dose. Similarly, California has focused its regulations around keeping cannabis edibles out of the hands of children with a universal cannabis product symbol, a government warning, child-proof packaging and clear labeling for potency and recommended dosage.

Takeaway

Not every cannabis consumer is particularly interested in smoking or vaping, but everyone is interested in tasty treats. Meeting regulatory hurdles for dosing and keeping products out of the hands of children has been a challenge, but these challenges hardly reduce the potential of what promises to be, and in many jurisdictions already is, one of the primary market segments of the cannabis industry.

As marijuana firms flourish, Canadian exchange will hold lottery for the stock ticker POT

The stock symbol POT is up for grabs on Canadian exchanges, and demand is so high that a lottery is being held for the first time ever to determine who gets it.

POT, previously the ticker for Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan before it merged with Agrium to form Nutrien, becomes available for use Friday. Not surprisingly, the cannabis-themed symbol has attracted “significant interest,” according to a staff notice published by the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Applications from companies are due by 5 p.m. Tuesday in Toronto, and a random lottery will be held Wednesday to determine the winner. TMX Group spokeswoman Catherine Kee declined to comment on how many applications it’s gotten, or how many of the interested companies are related to the fast-growing cannabis sector.

Canada now world's largest legal marijuana marketplace

POT isn’t the only marijuana-themed ticker symbol out there. Canopy Growth Corp., the world’s biggest cannabis company by market value, trades under the symbol WEED in Canada and the ETFMG Alternative Harvest exchange-traded fund uses the symbol MJ, short for Mary Jane. Other creative symbols used by cannabis firms include TGIF, which belongs to 1933 Industries Inc., and FSD Pharma’s HUGE.

The POT lottery is open to companies listed on any Canadian exchange, including the TSX, TSX Venture Exchange, Canadian Securities Exchange and Aequitas NEO Exchange. Exchange-traded funds and issuers without an active operating business aren’t eligible to participate.

  • Canadian cannabis industry executives are warning that product shortages in the country could take as long as three years to alleviate. Some insiders believe that cannabis production estimates are too optimistic, according to a report from Bloomberg.

By A.J. Herrington

Canadian cannabis industry executives are warning that product shortages in the country could take as long as three years to alleviate. Some insiders believe that cannabis production estimates are too optimistic, according to a report from Bloomberg.

Since the sale and use of recreational marijuana were legalized in October, product shortages have led some cannabis retailers to reduce hours or limit purchases. In Alberta, regulators originally estimated that up to 250 cannabis stores could be operating in the province by the end of this year. But product shortages caused the province to place a moratorium on issuing licenses in November. As a result, Alberta has only 65 cannabis retailers, with 20 of those located in the city of Calgary.

Chuck Rifici, chief executive officer of Auxly Cannabis Group Inc. in Toronto, said that the challenges of expanding cannabis production have made it difficult to meet the demands of the newly legal recreational cannabis market.

“There’s a lot of execution risk, people are expanding by 10, 20 times,” Rifici said. “Personally, I think we’re at least three years out from hitting real equilibrium.”

“Ultimately any manufacturing facility growing 20 times is likely to face delays,” he added.

Greg Engel, CEO of Organigram Holdings believes that it will take “a couple years” for supply to catch up with demand. And Everett Knight, the executive vice president for strategy and investments at Valens Groworks, said it could be two to three years. He said that some cultivators do not accurately predict production losses due to issues such as mold.

“It’s harder to grow cannabis than most people think,” Knight said.

However, Raj Grover, the CEO of cannabis retailer High Tide, said that supply problems are improving“on a monthly and weekly basis.”

“Our stores in Alberta are fully stocked. They’re generating great revenue,” Grover said. “I think Ontario’s decision to just open 25 stores is too much of an overstatement, they’re overthinking this a little bit.”

Government predicts ‘sufficient supply’

Tammy Jarbeau, a spokeswoman for Health Canada said in a statement in November that some product shortages could be expected.

“As with any new industry where there is considerable consumer demand, we expect there may be periods where inventories of some products run low or, in some cases, run out,” said Jarbeau. “Health Canada remains confident that there is sufficient supply of cannabis overall to meet market demand now and into the future.”

But she added that shortages were not expected to be prolonged or widespread.

“As the overall supply chain gains experience in the Canadian marketplace, it is expected that such localized and product-specific shortages will become far fewer in number,” Jarbeau said.

Marijuana Company of America $MCOA Announces Filing of Registration Statement on Form S-1 to Receive up to $10M to Fund Expansion $AERO $CBDS $CGRW $APH.ca $GBLX

  • Filed a Form S-1 Registration Statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
  • The Company’s registration statement included a prospectus pertaining to the resale of up to 500,000,000 shares of its Common Shares, issuable to K&J Funds, LLC, a selling stockholder, pursuant to a “put right”
  • Agreement permits the Company to “put” up to ten million dollars ($10,000,000) in shares of its common stock to K&J over a period of up to thirty-six months or until $10,000,000 of such shares have been “put.”

ESCONDIDO, Calif., Dec. 27, 2018 – MARIJUANA COMPANY OF AMERICA INC. (“MCOA” or the “Company”) (OTC: MCOA), an innovative hemp and cannabis corporation, is very pleased to announce that it has filed a Form S-1 Registration Statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This is an important step in helping the Company to raise the necessary capital to fund its projects and expand its operations in 2019.

The Company’s registration statement included a prospectus pertaining to the resale of up to 500,000,000 shares of its Common Shares, issuable to K&J Funds, LLC (“K&J”), a selling stockholder, pursuant to a “put right” under an investment agreement (the “Investment Agreement”), dated December 20, 2018, that the Company entered into with K&J. The Investment Agreement permits the Company to “put” up to ten million dollars ($10,000,000) in shares of its common stock to K&J over a period of up to thirty-six months or until $10,000,000 of such shares have been “put.”

The total amount of shares of common stock that can be sold in the prospectus would constitute approximately 20.08% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, assuming that the selling security holder will sell all of the shares offered for sale.

Don Steinberg, CEO stated: “We are extremely excited to have K&J as our financial partner for MCOA. They understand the history of the Company, our clear vision for the future and the enormous market within our reach, as reflected by this substantial commitment. This funding will give us the capital needed to expand our hempSMART brand into Europe and Asia in 2019 and prepare for our continued expansion into the hemp industry as a grower and processor in California and other areas.”

“We are happy that we are moving away from relying on convertible debt financing with variably priced conversion terms that are less favorable to our shareholders to equity financing. This will show the strength of our market capitalization and help to build a stronger balance sheet as we continue to execute our aggressive growth plans for 2019. I believe our shareholders will begin to fully appreciate our long-term strategy as we continue to realize an increase in revenue from our significant investments over the last couple of years”, said the Company’s CFO, Jesus Quintero.

This is the culmination of several steps including the filing of Form 10, filing all SEC quarterly and annual filings timely, completing several financial statement audits by a PCAOB registered firm, appointing independent directors and uplisting to the OTCQB. The Company is executing its business plan and will continue to do so with its operational initiatives in 2019 with the necessary capital in place.

TORONTO, Dec. 20, 2018 – North Bud Farms Inc. (CSE: NBUD) (“NORTHBUD” or the “Company”) announced the amendment of its licence application to add 500K SQ. FT. of outdoor cultivation area and provides shareholders with a corporate update on the progress of the corporation and status on its various activities.

Construction of our Cannabis Production Facility in Low, Quebec: 

The construction of NORTHBUD’s cultivation facility is progressing on schedule and on budget. The building is soon to be completely enclosed and ready for the next phase in construction. Please see our website www.northbud.com/blog for videos, photos and ongoing updates.

Request for Outdoor Cultivation License:

NORTHBUD is pursuing a standard cultivation licence under The Cannabis Act after acquiring a confirmation of readiness stage ACMPR licence application in early 2018.

The NORTHBUD production facility is located on a 95-acre parcel of farmland in rural Quebec. Under the new regulations, licenced producers can cultivate outdoors. In collaboration with Cannabis Compliance Inc. NORTHBUD will be amending its application to include a 1000 x 500ft outdoor cultivation area.  We anticipate this outdoor production footprint to be operational in the spring of 2020 pending the required approvals by Health Canada. NORTHBUD expects to begin implementation of the required infrastructure in Q2 2019 after completion of our 25k sq. ft. indoor production facility that is currently under construction.

Implementation of this additional low-cost production footprint will provide NORTHBUD a unique platform to cultivate both premium quality dried flower as well as low cost commodity grade organic biomass to be transformed into food and pharma grade inputs. This will position NORTHBUD to capitalize on the highest margin market segments.

As the consumer market develops, we believe our diverse centralized infrastructure will provide NORTHBUD a solid, low cost, high quality cannabis supply, which will serve as the core of our products and brand moving forward.

The Gatineau valley has traditionally been a fertile area for outdoor cannabis cultivation with a growing season that typically occurs between mid June and early October. NORTHBUD will be engaging local legacy cultivators to acquire genetics with a track record of success in this particular climate. Our outdoor cultivation will follow international GAP (good agricultural practices) with the drying, trimming and packaging to be done in accordance with GMP standards inside our state-of-the-art custom designed cultivation facility.
