The president of Crosby's Molasses has confirmed he's launching a separate company to get into the cannabis edibles business. Crosby is the son of Jim Crosby, the owner and chair of Crosby's Molasses. The new company is not part of Crosby's Molasses. The company purchased a one-hectare (2.4 acres) lot in the industrial park in January. Crosby Molasses Company was started in Yarmouth, N.S., and was moved to Saint John in 1897.
