Cannabis Product Manufacturing

While there are many forms of cannabis production, this subsector specifically refers to any ingestible food or beverage product that contains a minimum of 0.3% tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). There’s also ingestible cannabis in various health products, oils, microdoses, etc. but in the manufacturing sector we’re referring to products that are ingested as an actual food or beverage product such as candies, drinks, chocolate, baking and more!

Cannabis Product Manufacturing

The industry is in its infancy stages and we expect to see many more food related innovations in the coming years, this is a very exciting industry to get into!

Extract the perfect career from a building industry.

Here’s some areas of interest:

Baked Goods:

We’ve all heard of “special brownies”, well now it’s an actual production line! There’s many different bakery items available such as cookies, muffins, pancakes, cakes and more.

Savoury Snacks:

One of the most surprising areas of development was in the savoury snack area, as not everyone was interested in a sweet treat. Some of the products made here are pretzels, cheese bites, pizza, sauces, popcorn, chips, crackers and even peanut butter.

Gummies, Candies, and Mints:

This is one of the most popular edible areas as it’s very easy to control your dosage, they have a long shelf life (low risk in food production) and people are generally more familiar with this form of edible. There’s all forms and doses of gummies, hard candies, mints, lozenges, fruit chews, lollipops and more.

Chocolate:

Chocolate is another popular and familiar form of edibles, a little less popular than candies and baked goods, but still a very popular format. All flavours of chocolate are made – cookies & cream, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, hazelnut, all the crowd faves. More surprisingly chocolates come in many different types of applications you could have a chocolate bar, chocolate dipped gummy or cookie, cannabis-infused chocolate chips could go in a recipe, and even chocolate-dipped strawberries are a thing!

Drinks & Drink Mixes:

Drinks are some of the newest forms of cannabis ingestion available as a premixed beverage, within alcohol (beer), as a juice or as a powder ( hot chocolate, ice tea, etc) or tea leaves. Drinks can be absorbed differently by the body than food, so it’s a good alternative if you’re not interested in food edibles. Make your favorite cocktails, cannabis style!
