The CBC reported new cannabis products — like edibles, beverages, topicals and extracts — will be for sale legally in Canada in mid-December.
Regulations will come into effect on Oct. 17, and the products will be available two months later, Radio-Canada has learned.
Cannabis-infused alcoholic beverages and cannabis products containing tobacco, nicotine or caffeine will be prohibited.
Health Canada will maintain strict rules on labelling to prevent companies from making the products more attractive to young people.
The packaging and labelling must have a clear cannabis symbol, a health warning listing the product’s tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidol (CBD) content, limited use of logos and colours and child-resistant packaging.
Details on the final regulations and timeline are here.
