Has anyone here ever been able to get their medibles into a dispensary? I am thinking of doing that and I was curious if anyone found this to be a successful endeavor.

I dropped off my hot fudge sauce to one here, and they have never heard of that particular medible, so hopefully they will carry it.

I have just had my medicated fudge listed in our local dispensary. The key is to introduce something that they don't carry. Fudge is a good one because there are so many flavors you can make - always offering up something different (and it keeps very well)

Good luck on your endeavour.... lots of people lovvvve medibles.... especially medicated chocolate. smile

is the "fudge" a hard fudge, like what peeps make around the holidays?

well, mine is a sauce, hot fudge sauce to be exact.

everyone makes "fudge" it seems, but this is pourable and great as a hot chocolate in hot milk,
I like it out of the jar with a spoon my self, and it is awesome heated up and poured on ice cream.

I do both, but what I introduced to the dispensary was the hard fudge. I am in Toronto Canada area and not ONE dispensary here has fudge. Soft or hard. One has molded chocolates with peppermint inside, almost like an 'after eight' type mint.

So, there is a market for it here for sure.

sweet. my hot fudge recipe is in here somewhere.

very potent, hides the flavor well, but what makes it so special is that nobody makes it!

I have sent some to about four peeps here, they all loved it.

UG, nutty, dankone and I forgot who else...shit! lol

ask them, they will give you their consumer report! lol

awesome, I will have to look for the recipe. I have such a high tolerance (most medibles don't work for me), that I welcome new recipes that are kick ass smile And, chocolate to boot?? I'm gonna try it lol

IME, getting your stuff into dispensaries is all about the product(s) being "special."

Being the ONLY (as has been mentioned) is good, so long as your product isn't so "out there" folks can't imagine using it. Hot Fudge Sauce, for example is good because it is unique, but not "weird," if that makes sense. It's likely a lot of patients haven't yet used medicated fudge sauce, but they've likely used plain fudge sauce before and can therefore picture several practical uses for the medicated variety.

Being the "strongest" or "most potent" is another way being special is realized. Same with "clean" medibles (i.e., no canna-flavor, kief, hash, or extract infused edibles, etc.).

Using a known strain can make your products special. Many people use multiple strains or a no-name strain in their medibles; this is indeed attractive to some, but depending on the market a "sour diesel" or an "OG Kush" medible is something that is of particular interest.

Catering to specific dietary needs is special. Some folks really appreciate Gluten-Free, Reduced Sugar, or Organic products.

Convenience is special. Not everyone likes to lug around brownies or eating hundreds of additional calories per day. I believe that's why tinctures, sprays, lozenges, etc. are so popular.

The final (and most superficial) way to stand out I can think of is with packaging. Unfortunately, a lot of purchasing decisions are made upon looking at logos. Professionally packaged products beat out "homemade" looking products all the time - regardless of quality.

This was my experience in L.A. We ended-up spending way more on packaging than food frown Although it didn't change the actual product at all, it was thoroughly expected in that market.

I guess the bottom line is the same as when launching any new product. Are you the FIRST, the BEST, the BIGGEST, the CHEAPEST, or???

Good luck with everything. Getting quality products out to patients is a challenging but rewarding endeavor!

thanks weedie, I am running out of the master kush/dog hit pineapple infused products, and am now going to have to rely on finding a grower that wants to unload their unused trimmings, since growing is no longer happening here...ahem

so, alas, if I don't hook back up, I am out of the whole cooking with cannabis portion of life....
