Several private dispensaries in Vancouver are selling cannabis edibles on their shelves less than a week after they became available in British Columbia.
The general manager at City Cannabis Co on Robson St. says they sold out of cannabis chocolate bars within a few hours.
"We had the sea salt and caramel chocolate which we sold through as well as a 64 per cent cocoa dark chocolate bar," said Jay Merrick.
"It was a cannabis miracle," said Jay Merrick. "A lot of the [licensed producers] were telling us before New Year's so it was exciting to get it in before Christmas. People are really jazzed about it."
Edibles, topicals and extracts became available in BC on Dec. 19, but until this week consumers had only been able to order them online from the province's B.C. Cannabis Store website.
The City Cannabis store in downtown Vancouver is one of the first private retailers in the province to sell them in stores.
In addition to the two chocolate bars, the City Cannabis store in downtown Vancouver is also selling vaping products and cannabis mints.
