If you are traveling to Québec and want THC, you might be in for a surprise. The provincial government regulates what products the dispensaries there are able to sell. In order to prevent children from eating products they shouldn’t, the government requires THC edibles to be unappealing to children. This hasn’t stopped proliferation of edibles, however, and has spurred innovation in the product line.

We went to a dispensary called La mouffette gelée (The Baked Skunk, in English) to inquire about the products they sell in response to the provincial law. Pierre Gillette, the manager, answered our questions.

He explained, “We have to make edibles really unappealing to children. But our team of designers have come with incredible ways to make the children afraid of even taking one bite of our products.”

When we asked for an example of a product, he replied, “Here’s THC-infused stinky tofu. We import the tofu special from Taiwan, and we infuse it here. When I tried to give it to my kids, they just took one whiff of it, and said ‘fuck, no!’” Indeed, to our journalist, the product reeked of unwashed feet.

He continued, “Here, we have THC-infused Oka cheese. We carry this one for people who prefer cheese over tofu.” The fragrance of the Oka cheese also reminded our journalist of unwashed feet, but, strangely enough, in a completely different manner.

He added, “We’re going to soon have a new product on the shelf, THC infused into rotting fish heads. If your kids manage to get into this one, well, be ready to mop up the floor. That’s all I’m going to say.”
