When it comes to marijuana, you can expect it to be in different forms. That being said, not all forms are recommended with some being banned in various states or countries that have legalized marijuana. A Vancouver based cannabis company has been having a hard time to meet the flood orders for their marijuana-filled advent calendars. Being the Christmas season, you can expect to have different types of products available on the market to help people celebrate the holiday.

This edible calendar is being produced by a company called Coast to Coast. Since the introduction of the calendars, it has seen many people flock its website to place an order. LorileeFedler who works at Coast to Coast claims that the company is overwhelmed by the response from consumers since the launch of their new product. She claims that the company came up with the idea so as to give the consumers something different from what they are used to enjoying.

The part that might scare some people is that the company is unlicensed. So far it has sold around 150 calendars to various clients. It claims that it has more than 300 orders being processed to be shipped to the consumers. As for the waiting list, it has over 1500 people who are eagerly waiting for their calendars to arrive. The company did not expect the product to be popular and now they have to deal with the huge number of orders.

So, what is contained in this marijuana advent calendar? From the company website, they explain that it is packed with marijuana flowers that are commonly edible. This can include weed-infused gingerbread men or snowflake cookies. Sometimes it will be the combination of the two. On average, the calendar costs between $200 to $230. It is quite an amount you have to pay for such a product. Well, it seems people have nothing to worry about.

When asked about the legality, Fedler claims that she knows the calendars are illegal, but will continue to sell them. She further claims that she is not concerned about the authorities cracking down on her business. Since the police have not contacted her, she will continue to sell the calendars and keep the customers happy. This comes at a time when the Canadian government is looking to legalize recreational marijuana by July 1, 2018. Since the legislation is yet to be finalized on the marketing and distribution of marijuana in the country, selling such calendars infused with marijuana is illegal.

Health Canada recently released a few proposals on the regulations that would see the sale of marijuana being easy and safe. The body wants to limit on the colors and graphics that can be used on marijuana packages. We do not want a scenario where the seller exaggerates what the product can do. Another thing was the need to have health warnings on the marijuana packages. People have to buy these marijuana-laced products knowing the kind of health risks they are exposing themselves to. It is the same way we now have health risks printed on cigarette packages.

Having the sudden popularity in the advent calendars means there is a gap in the current law. Thus there is the need to have a regulation to can handle such form of products. Amazingly, there was a company selling such products only that they contain beer rather than marijuana.

These advent calendars have been popular, but with no regulation, it has led to some people fearing it would lead to health risks. These products mostly have not gone through any quality testing to ensure they are fit for consumption. The worst is when you cannot even determine the levels of THC and other cannabinoids in the calendars. This kind of information has not been availed by the person selling the calendars.

Another concern that people might have is the risk of contamination by the manufacturers. You might have them including uncontrolled substance that might lead to serious health issues. Some might end up having mold or fungus issues. No one wants to deal with products that might make them sick.

The use of calendars in the Canada marijuana industry has been criticized by various professionals. They feel that having the calendars in the marijuana sector is a step in the wrong direction. Still, these professionals have a reason to understand how such calendars will affect the kids. Not all parents are careful with their stash. What will happen if a kid accidentally ingests part of it?

Fedler says she took measures to keep the kids away from using their products. They have designed the package to have an ugly Christmas sweater, which is different from what the kids like. Well, many people would not feel that such a design is enough. Well, before you buy the calendars, make sure you understand the risks.

For many people, the ban of marijuana dispensaries in Collier County back in July was a blow to their businesses. It seems that will still be the position as the medical marijuana dispensaries are still banned for another six months. This decision has been reached as there is a delay in the state lawmakers in changing some of the marijuana rules surrounding the dispensaries and their operation.

The country is looking to control the number of dispensaries that can be opened in the area. The legislators were worried about having too many dispensaries with their activities being uncontrolled. As much as voters approved the use of medical marijuana in 2016, it seems like the lawmakers are making it impossible for the residents to access the product.

According to the current law, the state law does not give the county the control over the dispensaries. For all the counties in the state, it is either they ban the dispensaries or treat them as pharmacies. This means that if the dispensaries are allowed in the county, there is no control on how many can be opened. The only thing the county can control is to make sure the store is at least 500 feet from a school.

The temporary ban of setting dispensaries in the county was expected to end on December 31. No one expected it, but now the ban will last for an additional time of 6 months. This means that the residents of the area would not access medical marijuana for more than a year. Bill McDaniel, who is a commissioner has voted against the ban. He claims that now it is less temporary as it had been suggested before during the first ban. He agrees that the legislation might have been poorly written, but it is a constitutional amendment that must be respected. More so, the voters approved and thus it shows the importance of letting the dispensaries exist.

According to the legislation on legalizing marijuana, the state has set the limits on how many dispensaries can be setup in certain state regions. This does not apply to any specific counties, but rather in general. The law has divided the state of Florida into five sections where medical marijuana can be sold.These sections were chosen based on the population in the area. The population also affects the number of dispensaries that can be in an area.

Since the lawmakers have less to show over the period when the dispensaries were banned, most people do not have faith in them doing anything over the next ban period. For those lawmakers opposed to opening the dispensaries claim that the law does not give them any control. The only control they have is the number of pharmacies.

There is a limit to the number of dispensaries as explain before by the state law. With more people living in Collier County and the neighboring counties, this could lead to many marijuana dispensaries in the area they cannot control. This could make the job of the regulators hard in the county.

Florida is not the only state to have issues with its marijuana legislation. In places such as Colorado, there has been a decline in the sale of marijuana. You might have thought that legalization of recreational marijuana would make the sales soar even higher. Well, the problem has nothing to do with the pot supply, but rather the taxes. The state is taxing highly on the recreational marijuana. This should make the price of marijuana on average high. As much as it is readily available, most people would find it expensive than when they used to buy it from their dealers. On the overall, the high taxes in various states are making marijuana unpopular. The industry has the potential of making the state a lot of money, but the high taxes are killing it.

It also seems like the legalization of marijuana has made it less valuable. Whenever something is prohibited for both growth and consumption, it is when its value soars. The reason is due to the rarity of the product. Now that recreational marijuana is easily available, its price is slowly coming down. It is not the same as when it was being introduced to the market.

The general problem with the marijuana laws is that sometimes they are rushed. Mostly it is because they were part of a political promise during the campaigns. If someone is elected on the basis of legalizing marijuana, then that becomes their first agenda. Right now, there is the need to have proper consultations to ensure the laws created do not have any gray areas. This is like in the case of Collier County. They feel like they do not have any control of the marijuana business in their county. This is something that should have been rectified in the law before it was even passed.
