Alberta Producer Making Cannabis Oil for 'Green' Beer Hitting Regulatory Roadblocks

Jul. 1, 2018 – An Alberta-based cannabis producer is hoping to grease the wheels of the liquor industry with a little marijuana oil.

Element GP, based in Clearwater County, plans to provide cannabis oil for a line of non-alcoholic beers brewed from barley, and infused with cannabis oil. 

The producer is working with Toronto-based Province Brands of Canada to create the concoction, which they describe as a safer alternative to alcohol. 

Under the new business alliance, Element GP will produce custom cannabis oil for some of these new beers. 

Province Brands heralded the beer — which is still in development with patent pending. They say cracking open one of their cold ones would provide a short-lived buzz similar to an alcoholic beer.

“All Province Brands beverage products will feature its accelerant to shorten the intoxicating onset time as well as its proprietary decelerant to shorten the offset time, ultimately creating a dose-response curve similar to that of alcohol,” reads a news release.
