Ontario Cannabis Store edibles will be available next week

The Ontario Cannabis Store announced today at a press conference that new edible marijuana products will be hitting the shelves as early as next week.

Cannabis edibles have been legal since October, but there's been a delay in getting the products to retail due to a 60-day approval period imposed by Health Canada.

The OCS confirmed at the press conference that a limited number of new products will be shipped to licensed retailers on Monday.
