According to the AGLC, retailers across the province were able to put in their edible orders last Monday.

The AGLC says there’s limited product right now, but that’s on par with the brand new line of products coming out. Adding, consumers will see an increase in product over the coming weeks and months.

Additionally, they say licensed producers are still going through approvals with Health Canada to get authorization to start manufacturing products.

Meantime, consumers are reminded to read product labels to avoid over consumption.

According to AGLC spokesperson Heather Holemen,“The effects of edibles and oils may take between 30 minutes to 2 hours to start feeling the effects. And it can take up to 4 hours to feel the full effects and it can last for over 12 hours.”

Holeman says beverage products are expected to come down in the next couple of weeks.

There are 12 licensed cannabis stores in Medicine Hat and 397 retailers across the province.
