LAS VEGAS, June 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- As Nevada
prepares to roll out its recreational marijuana program at midnight
on July 1, local dispensaries and
producers are working overtime to prepare for the anticipated
demand.
Evergreen Organix, one of the state's largest marijuana
edible producers that's carried by most of the state's
dispensaries, has anticipated the surge in demand for their
products.
According to company officials, Evergreen Organix staff has been
working extended hours with additional personnel for the past ten
days. They will continue production through the end of this
week to prepare for the launch of Nevada's recreational cannabis
program on July 1st.
Housed in a 33,000-square-foot zero air exchange facility,
Evergreen Organix produces over 70 different skews which includes
sugar-free, non-GMO, gluten-free, and vegan edibles such as
micro-dosed hard candy, gummies, chocolate and cereal bars. The
company also has a 3,400-square-foot production kitchen, and
state-of-the-art laboratory where they perform Critical Co2
Extraction and Short Path Distillation.
"We are known for both our quality and diversity of products,"
said Evergreen Organix Operations Manager Jillian Nelson. "The focus of Evergreen Organix
will be to offer the very best for both patients and the
recreational consumer." The company has plans to release an
extract line as well as a variety of vape pens and distillates in
July.
Evergreen Organix operates under some of the strictest
regulations in the country for medical marijuana as Nevada
regulators have created a stringent layer of protection for
consumers. As a result of Nevada Senate
Bill 344, passed during the recent legislative session,
edibles must be in opaque packaging with full descriptions and
warning labels. As well they must have potency labels and cannot
resemble products familiar to kids like gummy bears or use
advertising enticing to children such as cartoon characters,
mascots, action figures, balloons or toys that might appeal to
children. Marijuana also cannot be produced in the form of a
lollipop or treat.
