10. INFUSED PRODUCTS
ON THE RISE
It took more than a year after Canada's
first wave of legalization for the
government to finalize regulations for
so-called " Cannabis 2.0 " products,
including edibles, infused beverages,
topicals, vape cartridges and other
concentrates.
Those products finally started trickling
out to stores in December 2019, and
consumers in most parts of Canada can
now buy at least some marijuana-derived
products from their local cannabis stores.
Vape cartridges are generally easy to
find, but selection in other categories
has been limited at times, with stores
experiencing shortages of edibles and
beverages.
For now, uneven availability for
cannabis derivatives makes it harder to
get a sense of which products, brands
and price points are catching on with
consumers.
11. CANNABIS STOCKPILES
BALLOON
Canada's regulated cannabis growers are
sitting on huge piles of unsold marijuana,
the latest federal figures show.
More than 1.4 million pounds of
unpackaged product was sitting in
producers' inventories as of April,
plus about 85,000 kilograms (187,393
pounds) of packaged cannabis awaiting
sale and millions of units of as-yetunsold
marijuana-derived products.
Since retail sales are trending upwards,
stockpiling suggests future inventory
write-downs by some producers.
12. OUTDOOR CULTIVATION
EXPANDS
As if the existing massive stockpile of
cannabis weren't enough, a boom in
outdoor cannabis crops is increasing
regulated production.
Outdoor cultivation was permitted
with recreational marijuana legalization
54 Marijuana Business Magazine | September 2020
in October 2018, but fewer than 20
licenses to cultivate marijuana outdoors
had been granted as of summer 2019.
That figure had grown to 70 outdoor
cannabis cultivation licenses in June.
As of April, Canada's licensed
indoor growing area totaled about
2.1 million square meters, compared
with 2.8 million square meters of
outdoor growing area.
Increasing outdoor production
should help some growers achieve lower
production costs and cheaper inputs for
cannabis derivatives including infused
products, which is important
at a time when consumers are focused
on affordability.
On the flip side: Any glut from
outdoor harvests could contribute to
stockpiles and falling prices.
