Merry Cannabis!

Merry Cannabis!

Coast to Coast Medicinals released an advent Christmas calendar filled with cannabis goods.

The BC based company is already selling medical marijuana in Canada. They sell everything from cannabis flowers to various edibles including candy, chocolate, and even frozen pops. The Advent calendar is a collection of 24 small boxes containing either flowers, edibles or a mix of both.

It costs between 200 to 230$ for a total of 26g of cannabis. Hundred of calendars are already in the mail. At first, Coast to Coast thought they would have 20 to 30 orders. They are now looking for help because they have 2000 pre-orders.

“We just wanted something fun and different for adults, we didn’t expect it to be so popular” business owner Lorilee Fedler said.

Cannabis for medical use has been legal in Canada since 2001 while it’s still unlawful to have it for personal use. Meanwhile, just last week the government department Health Canada released a consultation paper proposing new cannabis regulations, including restricted promotion and health warning on the labelling.
