Some dispensaries received their first shipments of pot-infused treats Monday from distributor Alberta Gaming Liquor Cannabis, bringing with them hopes of a renewed surge in business.

“I hope it brings more customers in who haven’t tried it,” said Mylann Doell, manager of the Queen of Bud at 1717 10th Ave. S.W.

The products, she said, have been heavily anticipated by customers.

“Edibles have been my No. 1 phone question since before Christmas. They’ve just been waiting for them to come out,” said Doell.

But there’s also an expectation of supply constraints similar to what plagued the availability of bud that prompted a six-month moratorium of new cannabis store approvals in Calgary, she said.

“There’s always going to be supply issues just because it’s such a new thing,” said Doell.

“I expect to see (them) sell out today or tomorrow.”
