PG residents will have to wait until 2020 for newly legalized edibles

Other include vaporizers and cartridges, other extracts like shatter and hashish, and topicals which are cannabis-infused product intended for hair, skin, or nails.

Locally, no retailer will have any of the new products before Christmas or even before the New Year. Zagas and Grasshopper expects their slew of products to come in early January.
