Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 28, 2026) - Herbal Dispatch Inc. (CSE: HERB) (OTCQB: LUFFF) (FSE: HA9) ("Herbal Dispatch" or the "Company"), a cannabis e-commerce and distribution platform, today announced the launch of its first dedicated edibles brand, Chomp Edibles ("Chomp"), marking a strategic expansion into one of the fastest-growing segments of the Canadian cannabis market.
Chomp represents a focused push into the "accessible premium" category—delivering high-quality, craft-inspired edibles at a competitive price point designed to appeal to both new and experienced consumers. The brand is built to capture increasing demand for consistent, flavour-forward, and precisely dosed cannabis products.
The initial Chomp lineup includes the following flavours: Grape, Cherry Coke, Cherry, Freshly Squeezed Orange, and Blueberry, each developed using high-quality ingredients and designed to deliver a differentiated consumer experience.
The product line has been structured to align with evolving consumer preferences and regulatory developments, offering multiple dosing and pack configurations:
- 10mg THC (single unit)
- 5mg THC per unit (2-pack format)
- 10mg THC x 10 (master pack)
- 10mg THC x 20 (master pack)
The introduction of larger-format "master packs" reflects recent regulatory changes and is intended to improve consumer value, increase basket size, and enhance purchasing convenience while maintaining full compliance.
Market Opportunity
Edibles continue to gain significant traction within Canada's legal cannabis market. In Q1 2025, edibles accounted for approximately 26% of total packaged units sold nationally, making it the second-largest category behind dried flower. The broader Canadian cannabis market reached approximately $5.2 billion in annual sales and is projected to continue expanding, with edibles representing one of the fastest-growing segments 1.
This shift reflects changing consumer preferences toward discreet, convenient, and precisely dosed formats, reinforcing the strategic importance of the category.
