Cannabis food products aren’t for sale yet, but entrepreneurs already preparing for legalization of edibles. Chef Cody Lindsay whips pancake batter while an intrigued crowd watches. He adds whole wheat flour and oats to give the mixture a healthy boost.
“It’s just small improvements to your diet that will help you feel better,” he tells the audience at a recent cooking demonstration in Toronto.
Then comes the final ingredient — one not typically found in pancakes — a few doses of cannabis oil.
“Now, we know that each pancake is going to have a least one millilitre of THC,” Lindsay says.
Canada doesn’t allow the sale of marijuana food products, even for medical use, but individuals who have a prescription for medical marijuana can cook with cannabis at home. And some businesses hope the day will come when they can tap into the lucrative pot edibles market.
