The CEO of a company setting up a cannabis production facility in Belleville says beverages will be a large part of their business.
In an interview from BNN Bloomberg, Truss Corp CEO Brett Vye said that cannabis-infused beverages will make up 20 to 30 percent of the Canadian pot market.
It is part of a joint venture between Hexo and Molson Coors Brewing.
Hexo has taken over the lease of the former Sears facility in Belleville, and once at full capacity will be able to produce 200 bottles or cans of cannabis beverage per minute.
In a recent survey of 2,000 adults, more an a third said they intended to try cannabis drinks.
Drinks will not be available for purchase until mid-December.
