Just when we seemed to finally be getting over the "cannabis is a gateway drug" sentiment, a company called THC Living releases the hottest new product, snort-able cannabis! Even comes with a dope little spoon to take bumps with!
We should have all seen this coming. New novelty cannabis Items are released every single day. Some of the more absurd still try tp masquerade as a medicinal product. Fortunately Canna Bumps doesn't seem to be doing this though. The worlds of medicinal cannabis, recreational cannabis, seem to cross paths with the world of other recreational drug use often, and many of the biggest influencers seem to conflate them often as well.
I obviously don't want the product outlawed or anything, but i do think it's an absurd way to consume an amazing plant, and makes the industry look horrible. They will surely be showing these at the hearings in states trying to resist legalization of an example of the culture, and type of product that will be sold in their communities. This kind of thing happens all the time at hearings in illegal states. Those resiting legalization show a never ending panel of "medicinal" cannabis products, that are clearly not meant to be. These are usually the most lively part of these hearings, and what gets reshown later.
They will use products such as this to make claims that companies are purposefully marketing to children.
Fortunately, upon release Canna Bumps was immediately, and appropriately mocked in on Twitter, and in other corners of the web.
It is marketed as an edible, and is listed at 600mg. They are clearly marketing it as an edible, but in California edibles are limited to 100mg per package. It seems they are selling under the legal category of concentrate, but marketing it as an edible?
Have a great time with your cannabis with our novel cannabis concentrate. Canna Bumps are exactly what they sound like – cannabis concentrate intended to be devoured through the nose, ingested straightforwardly or added to your number one food.
Yeah, that is pretty blatantly being marketed as an edible. I don't personally care, because I don't approve of government regulating cannabis to begin with.
I don't know how many of you know, but I am a recovered drug addict. I imagine myself 5 years ago would have been excited to see if this form of ingestion would get me higher, because that's all I was concerned with. This is clearly being marketed towards people like myself. People who snort other drugs, and also use cannabis. It is just not a good look for an industry that is still federally illegal
After a weekend of backlash, they have removed the product from there website, and lawyers representing THC Living released this statement to Leafly.
A few months ago, our client was approached by a third party that sought to utilize our client’s proprietary formulations in the creation of the Canna Bumps product. As soon as our client learned more about the product, it took the temperature of its customers and those in the industry to gauge how they felt about Canna Bumps. Because of its own concerns, those expressed by consumers, and the misgivings of those in the industry, our client made the decision to terminate any license granted to any third party that would use its proprietary information to produce or market a product like Canna Bumps.
So they pulled the product, and I think that is great. I honestly commend THC Living for listening to their customers. I know this won't be the last of products like this we see. They are generally novelties with stupid price tags that won't be on the shelf in a year. The industry is still young, but we have quite a bit of growing to do still.
Keep it real

Omg 😳
Not parody?
Insane!
I can see it now. People mixing other drugs in with this for the new kind of speed balk, smh. Pretty disgusting if you ask me, not even an efficient way of consuming a drug. What a waste!
Right! Its a waste. It looks to have a similar color and consistancy to fentynol too. Im sure it will only be a matter of time before a kid dies snortinf wnat he thought was just cannabis extracts.
Yeah i can see that. Hey watch me snort 1200 mg of thc to the dome! What has me worried is someone will probably now get the unwise idea of banging it, then probably giving cannabis a tally for an OD death. Hopefully they pull this shit due to public outcry.
I can only do this 🤦♀ when reading about it.
Happy to see consumers being more informed and holding companies accountable. We as consumers should indeed be more mindful and informed.
Yeah that is the best part of the story. That the communityntotally rejected it. Unfortunately im sure we'll see more of it in the future. Im just waiting for some kid to die from snorting some of this cut with fentynol.
Unfortunately these crappy products will indeed keep coming into the markets yes and sometimes those so called "influencers" aren't helping, by advertising or being sponsored by those companies just for a quick buck and then I'm talking about the beauty industry. It's well-known that the FDA's guidelines aren't as strict with those products, in comparison to Europe's guidelines.
Snortable Cannabis? Well that's just stupid. Republicans will have a field day with this arguing against cannabis.
Yup, we'll be hearing all about this in future
This is worse then not having flying cars by 2015 like in Back 2 The Future 2 🤣
yeah that's some b.s. right there, I've come across a few really bad companies and some decent ones that got smacked even though they were aces because they dared say that any form of cannabis can help with some pain etc.... great post and headsup
We will have cannabis you can shoot up next. 🤦♂️
It’s called heroin 😂
