You mean if your state is legal and the underground flourishes?

Having quality product is A-1 along with slightly under $$ than dispensaries.....and what people want..

EastCoast710 · 11-10-2016, 02:18 AM

na I ment. .like what should I be doing to get into the legal market.. lol.

I already have a few recipes for edibles that come out amazing.. so I might just start making a bunch of different kinds of edibles to get my foot in the door.

Find out statutes to start with....or attorney specializing in Colorado cannabis products.

Good luck.

you'll have to pay the money for whatever license you need. In Mass. there will be cultivator, distributor, and retail licenses, you can buy from 1-3 depending on what your business will do. Not sure where an edible producer fits in. Not sure if you'd need a retailer or cultivator license or both.

Lawyers are going to make a lot of money helping people with all this. The laws that are passing are heavily restricted and businesspeople are going to spend a lot more on compliance costs versus other industries. Sadly. We have to keep working for the way it should be - rent a stall at the local farm market and sell your flowers direct to consumers next to the other farmers and bakers.

Hard to say. The rec requirement for testing, the repeatability of doses, the limit on a maximum dose and the packaging requirements really shook up the edible industry. Even Cheeba Chews were basically illegal in their old form/packaging. They took quite a few months to get back into the game with a changed product (that is now really awful with regard to potency).

Blue Kudu seems to do well, and I had one of their Cherry/Chocolate 100MG bars a while ago. It was pretty tasty, and there was plenty of thc in it. I'm guessing that almost any edible maker is just using hash oil, so sourcing that for cheap becomes a priority. The concentrate makers using flammable solvents would have a hell of a time getting insurance. Seems like the dispos were selling a lot of CO2-extracted oils/waxes for a while, but they seem to have gone back to mostly butane, with a little "Live Rosin". It would be an interesting trip, for sure.

Great idea.
So few are allowed to promote edibles- the market is tight. Stringent rules, and keeping edibles a constant %....difficult, but worth a shot.
Too, warehouse, clean kitchen, application licensure fees...it all adds up.

Bro go with what you are good at. I think there will always be a place for tasty edibles and good price on return for you.

The grey market here seems to set the tone. A few cats are making that fire rosin and bubble hash, and going for like 60 a gram right now.

Also thc acetate medibles are getting real popular.

You have a good product it will sell.
