The federal government has approved a change in how the cannabis content of beverages is calculated, pushing the number of standard-sized, canned pot drinks that can be bought at once from five to 48.
The change announced Friday and effective immediately makes one gram of dried cannabis equivalent to 570 grams of a pot drink, an increase from the 70 grams of a pot drink the government currently equates to one gram of dried cannabis.
Single cannabis beverages sold in Canada could also not contain more than 10 mg of tetrahydrocannabinol , pot's psychoactive component. "Canadians can finally purchase a six-pack, 24, or up to 48 of their favourite cannabis beverages to enjoy with family and friends, which represents a win for consumer choice as this innovative category takes a leap forward," wrote David Klein, chief executive officer of Canopy Growth Corp., a licensed cannabis producer, in a statement.
