FORMULATION
Cannabis/CBD/Hemp
A MOUNTAIN
to Climb
Formulating with cannabis and hemp poses myriad challenges for bakers.
by Michelle Smith

Although outlawed federally, cannabis is legal in more
than three dozen states either medicinally, recreationally
or both. Just last month, a handful of states had marijuana
on the ballot, and Nebraska voted to allow medical
marijuana.
Marijuana, which is the most commonly consumed
illegal drug in the United States, according to the
Centers for Disease Control, was used by 52.5 million
people, or 19% of Americans, at least once in 2021. And
an estimated 17.7 million people used marijuana daily
or nearly daily in 2022, according to the US National
Survey on Drug Use and Health. While much of cannabis
is smoked or vaped, it can be found in a variety of
edibles, including gummies - by far the most popular
- chocolate, baked goods and more.
Clearly these numbers show that there is a market for
edibles, although a variety of obstacles stand in the way
of any baker interested in serving this community. Chief
among them is that cannabis products cannot cross state
lines. Even if cannabis is legal in two adjoining states,
a producer of brownies or gummies containing delta-9
tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is the psychoactive
ingredient in cannabis, would have to obtain licenses in
each state, then produce them in both places.
" The greatest challenge to any plant touching marijuanarelated
business - grower, processor, manufacturer,
dispensary - is profitability, " said Steve Schain, attorney
for Smart Counsel LLC, which serves the cannabis,
hemp and psychedelics industries. " Cannabis generates
enormous revenue but has a razor-thin profitability line.
Part of the reason is the ridiculous inefficiencies plaguing
cannabis due to wild overregulation. "
Despite all this, businesses are still producing products
with delta-9 THC to sell in states where it's legal.
Moreover, THC products aren't the only ones that can be
produced from the Cannabis sativa plant species. Hemp,
which generally contains less than 0.3% of delta-9 THC,
was legalized federally under the 2018 Farm Bill. And
hemp-derived THC, or rogue intoxicants that include
delta-8 and delta-10, are not federally illegal and often

Hemp is rich in
vitamin E and healthy
fats like omega-3
and omega-6.
