Not yet legal, but first packs of Marijuana Cigarettes are being sold

In Mexico, a pack of marijuana cigarettes has begun distribution.   It is called Flor de Caña and is the creation of the THC Crew collective, which launched almost two weeks ago and has already sold 120 units and has orders for 700 more.

Each package contains, 7 hand-crafted cigarettes, equivalent to 3.5 grams of marijuana, an amount below the limit of 5 grams allowed for consumers in Mexico City.

This will assure there are no legal risks, said the founder of THC Crew Mexico, who introduces himself only as Danny.

Although he admits that the purchase and sale of marijuana is still prohibited, he explained that THC Crew wants to be prepared by the time Mexican authorities regulate its use, and thus be ahead in the market.

Flor de Caña is a completely handmade product, and the marijuana cultivated by Mexican farmers, assured THC Crew, which also distributes chocolates, ointments and marijuana ointments, and organized the first Cannabis Cup in Mexico.

Faced with the possibility of increased demand, Danny does not rule out expanding its portfolio of suppliers.

However, you have to be patient, he said, because the preparation takes time: you have to weigh and assemble each cigarette manually.

In its packaging design, Flor de Caña highlights its national character : it has a capital letter M printed with the national colors (green, white and red) and in the center the THC Crew logo in a golden tone.

In the upper part are drawn the silhouettes of emblematic buildings of Mexico City, such as the Angel of Independence and Fine Arts.

These components make the cost of the pack expensive, compared to buying loose seeds or grass alone, said Danny, who preferred to omit the price of his product.

The members of THC Crew have promoted the Flor de Caña pack, through their social networks.
