How to Open an Edible's Business. In this video we learn the costs, equipment needed, licensing, hiring, packaging, and more! The production and sale of cannabis edibles products has grown by over 1000% in the past couple of years in the United States. Everyone with a stove and an apron all of the sudden wants to make cannabis brownies, cookies and cupcakes and sell them to their neighbors. There are edible cannabis products that are produced with THC in them so they are psychoactive and get the user “High”. And there are also edibles made without the psychoactive component or also known as “CBD-rich” products that are produced strictly for health-related reasons. Laws vary greatly from state to state on how and where the edibles are created.  Some states require the use of a commercial kitchen, and for the cannabis butters and oils that are used to have been produced on site. Other states have looser laws, and do not oversee the production of edibles to such an extent. Edibles regulations vary by state. Some states continue to prohibit cannabis use of any kind. Many more states have legalized cannabis use. These states allow edible production under stiff regulations. For example, some states prohibit edibles in fruit or animal shapes. These shapes can attract children and cause accidental consumption. Other states restrict edibles use for medical patients. States may have strict dose limits and packaging and labeling regulations. Regardless of which state the edibles are made in, they cannot be transported across state lines. This makes it very difficult for operators of edible cannabis products to have a national brand. To get around this, some brands open production facilities in multiple medical marijuana states, or at times, sell a license to local producers to use their brand name and recipes for a fee of each product sold. Selling edibles has become a profitable venture for investors. Some consumers try to avoid smoking and vaporizing cannabis. Smoking can be harsh to the lungs and the smoke can be quite pungent. Edibles are also a healthier alternative to smoking. Edibles are an effective alternative for certain medical patients. Patients with respiratory conditions can benefit from edibles. Edibles also provide longer-lasting relief compared to flower. Edibles are a discreet option that you can consume nearly anywhere. You won't have the smell of smoke or vapor. Generally, edibles sell for higher prices than the raw flower. Many customers are willing to pay for this premium. They prefer this healthy and tasty alternative to smoking. This is great news for edibles brands. Edibles bring in higher profit margins and prices than raw flower buds. If flower prices fall, the edibles market can continue to make a profit due to their higher margins. Let’s look deeper into the profitability of each product type. According to the latest government data in 2022, cannabis flower sold for $7.50 per gram and cost $1.79 to produce. That’s a profit margin of 76 percent. Producers sold cannabis extracts for $12 and cost $1.85 per gram to produce. The profit margin for extracts is 84 percent. Cannabis edibles commanded about $36 per dry gram equivalent and cost $2.85 to produce. That’s a profit margin of 92 percent. Do You Need a Business License? The industry is full of opportunities for edibles chefs and investors. Before starting your edibles business, you need to research your state and local cannabis and licensing laws. Some municipalities prohibit commercial cannabis kitchens. If your state and local laws allow for a cannabis kitchen, you’ll need to apply for a couple of business licenses. One business license will be from the state and the other from the city or county. Career Outlook for Cannabis Edibles Cooks and Business Owners? The potential for edible cannabis products is very strong, partly because of the lack of competition from the illegal black market. Chefs that know how and what to make will be in great demand across the market. Entrepreneurs with the right combination of product, marketing, and ability to sell it can quickly be making money hand over fist.
