Cannabis edibles expected on the market in Canada by year’s end 0 SHARES Share it! The new regulations — which follow last year’s legalization of recreational cannabis use — will come into effect on October 17. They will also apply to cannabis extracts and topicals. “The amended regulations are the next step in our process to reduce the risks to public health and safety from edible cannabis, cannabis extracts and cannabis topicals and displace the illegal market for these products in Canada,” the government’s point man on cannabis, Bill Blair, said in a statement. Health Canada explained that the effects of ingested cannabis may take up to two hours to be felt — versus seconds to minutes for inhalation.
