Health Canada has released draft regulations for cannabis edibles and extracts, which include strict limits on dosage and ingredients.
For edibles, Health Canada is proposing plain child-resistant packaging, restricting the ingredients that can be used and limiting the edible to 10 milligrams of THC per package, which is largely considered the typical amount for a single dose.
Additionally, regular food and edible cannabis products must not be produced in the same facility.
Cannabis extracts would face similar regulations, with restrictions on certain flavours that would appeal to youth and limiting a single capsule to 10 milligrams of THC. The packaging must also be void of any positive health claims.
