New accessories will continue to be rolled out for purchase on OCS.ca that are intended to be used with extracts and vapes, such as dab rigs, concentrate storage containers, rehydrating stones and batteries.

The site also notes that while Cannabis 2.0 categories like edibles, extracts and topicals have been legalised in Canada since October 17, 2019, many Ontarians have noticed that these products have yet to hit legal retail shelves or OCS.ca. This is due to the regulatory timelines and approval processes put in place by Health Canada to ensure new cannabis products are safe for consumption.

In order to legally ship and sell products, licensed producers must first apply for an amended license, submit products for a 60-day review period, and finally pass quality assurance standards. When products meet these criteria, they may be introduced to the market.
