A Denver-based company owned by Bob Eschino has come up with a range of yummy-looking white and dark chocolate bars called the Incredibles, which come in different flavours like toffee and cookie crumble.
Each chocolate bar consists of about 100 milligrams of hash oil; if eaten completely it would be equal to smoking nearly 10 joints. This would be the last thing that he would recommend, Eschino said.
“The ultimate goal for recreational cannabis is to have a good time” says Eschino. “We don’t want to see people over-consuming and not having a good time.”
Quite recently, the edible makers of the state do not happen to have a good and favorable time. Since the time pot became legal in Colorado last December, news of two deaths already came up due to marijuana’s over consumption along with a raft of bad news that put a limelight on the very powerful punch like the treats pack for novice user.
Maureen Dowd says that those packs make you go a little high: “I lay curled up in a hallucinatory state for the next eight hours.” Such stories when coupled with the reports of kids eating up pot treats by accident and then being rushed to the emergency rooms of Colorado sounds alarming bells in industry. The regulators in Washington and Colorado are obtaining a new and stricter packaging for the edibles. Producers like Eschino are coming together to start few public education campaigns so that people consume the drug more carefully.
As more number of states is edging towards legalization, these efforts are very important for the survival of marijuana edible industries. “The reality is people are not going to have a lot of confidence… if they hear all these horror stories that you eat one gummy bear and you go crazy” says Kreit.
“People typically sit down and eat cookies, not a cookie, and that type of eating habit is somewhat ingrained in us” stated Leslie Bocskor, a Nevada-based cannabis business consultant.
Going by the boom of medical cannabis in Colorado, it’s quite easy to say that such innovative products like choco cannabis bars, and Rick Simpson oil would continue to gain widespread popularity in such states.
Many people have already realized the benefits of medical cannabis and they are open to sharing their positive experiences; they say that CBD has astonishingly shown therapeutic effects for people suffering from arthritis, eczema, cancer, and epilepsy.
