Quebec health authorities call for strict regulations on cannabis-infused edibles

Regional directors want THC limited, ban on products appealing to minors.

As part of those consultations, the province’s 18 regional health directors collaborated on a brief that calls for a complete ban on the sale of edibles that could appeal to minors, like those in the shape of fruits or animals.

The directors recommend a ban on the sale of sugary drinks, including natural and sweetened juices, containing cannabis.
