Yep - single 10 mg gummies are a thing. Less common than 2 x 5 mg but there’s a couple.
The Health Canada cap is problematic - how much of this biomass could’ve been used to produce varying higher doses of edibles that actually match what most consumers want? (aside from cannabis newbies dipping their toe in - anecdote, not data, but those are the only folks I really see buying these. Everyone else makes their own or buys higher dosed ones off the unregulated market)
All of it.
Not even edibles. If they wanted to spend some additional resources, they could have made extracts, oils, edibles, etc out of this biomass. Even low quality weed will have THC and other Cannabis that can be removed via numerous extractions methods.
The fact that instead of doing that, they’re cutting their losses and throwing out product means it’s a business decision to do this burning. NOT a decision based on the market or community. The LP system in Canada has sadly given all the growing power to a few giant corporations up front who are in it for money, not better products.
Heck, when former, Anti-Cannabis police chief suddenly started investing back in 2017. you knew it was all about the money.
