Why it matters:
– The Magnolia Bakery, known for its iconic cakes and cupcakes, is entering the cannabis edibles market through a collaboration with the edibles brand incredibles.
– The bakery will be offering THC-infused chocolate bars inspired by their popular banana pudding and red velvet cupcakes.
– However, the products will only be available in Illinois, Nevada, and Massachusetts, with no nationwide shipping.
What they are saying:
– Magnolia Bakery is excited to introduce their desserts in a new euphoric form and cater to stoners in New York City, where cannabis edibles are not yet legal.
– The THC-infused chocolate bars, created with Green Thumb Industries, feature flavors like Swirled Famous Banana Pudding and Red Velvet Piece Ahhh Cake.
– Each bar is segmented into 10 pieces, with 10mg of THC per piece. The Red Velvet bar also includes 10mg of CBD.
The big picture:
– Magnolia Bakery’s entry into the cannabis edibles market represents a shift in the mainstream acceptance and popularity of cannabis products.
– New York’s regulations and licensing processes for THC products present challenges, but there is potential for these edibles to become available in the city’s gray market dispensaries.
– The limited availability of the chocolate bars highlights the varied legal landscapes for cannabis across different states.
What to watch:
– The response and demand for the Magnolia Bakery THC-infused chocolate bars in the states where they are available.
– Regulatory developments in New York and potential changes in the licensing process for cannabis products.
My take:
– It’s interesting to see a well-known bakery like Magnolia enter the cannabis edibles market, showcasing the growing mainstream acceptance of cannabis products.
– While it’s unfortunate that the products are not available nationwide, it highlights the complexity of cannabis regulations in the United States.
– The popularity of these limited-edition chocolate bars could potentially drive further expansion of Magnolia Bakery’s cannabis product offerings in the future.
