Edibles, topicals and extracts containing cannabis will slowly be hitting the shelves in the province in the next few weeks.

The slow roll out is due to a 60-day window that companies had to wait after they registered their products which began October 17. Cannabis itself was legalized the year previous.

All products are Canadian made and registered with Health Canada.

Peter Murphy the Chief Merchandising Officer with the NLC says you can expect to see chocolates, soft chews, hard candy, baked goods and beverages. He says with edibles you want to start low and go slow.

Murphy says they do take a lot longer to hit. With inhalables you feel the effects immediately. He says with edibles and drinks it can take 2-4 hours before it hits you or you feel the full effects and 12 to 24 hours before it leaves your system.

Murphy also says it’s very important to store your products in a high secure place away from kids and pets, as many products will be appear like regular candy.
