Cannabis companies say they are growing enough pot, they just can’t deliver it
One pesky stamp has become the symbol of a continuing problem in Canada: Pot producers struggling to get enough cannabis to market, at least in the ways that buyers want it.
Pot producers had to scramble to apply the required excise-tax stamps with no glue as legalization kicked off last October, and many are still having to apply them by hand to some packages months later as supply issues continue. While Oxxxxxx has figured out how to automate its production of some products, the Moncton, N
“Our pre-fill equipment puts [the tax stamp] on automatically, the oil line does it automatically, but the dry flower jar line, we just can’t get it automatic,” Engel said, adding that he hopes to have a fix in two weeks.
on Monday joined a chorus of companies saying their challenge in supplying the Canadian cannabis market is not growing massive amounts of marijuana, but transforming the plant into a product that’s ready for sale. Engel said that his company had nearly $30 million worth of dried cannabis at the end of its most recent quarter that it still needed to process, more than it brought in actually selling cannabis in the quarter. In order to meet demand, the company has begun staffing some parts of its operations 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and it has now contracted Valens Groworks Corp. V to perform some of the extraction while expanding its in-house capabilities.
Other cannabis producers have discussed issues processing marijuana, including several — Chief Executive Sebastien St-Louis has said that the entire sector failed to anticipate supply-chain problems that have hurt supply as Canada builds out the world’s first recreational-pot industry in the developed world.
Organism stock fell 9.7% in Monday trading, though Jefferson analyst Owen Bennett called the results “impressive” in a note, saying Organisms recreational pot sales were second only to Canopy Growth Corp. WEED, +3.88% CGC, +3.78% , which is the world’s largest pot company by market valuation.

Organism has built up its production and distribution side to match the need for pre-filled joints, especially. With the automation currently running at Organisms facilities, Engels said the company is able to produce more than 40,000 pre-filled joints a day and has produced 2.6 million in total as of Monday.
As Engel manages to meet consumer demand for joints, however, their tastes are changing. Cannabis oils, Engel said, are no longer a big seller and sales are slipping, but there is now a massive amount of demand for products derived from cannabis, or CBD, a nonintoxicating cannabis found in cannabis plants.
“Provinces are desperate for CBD products, private retailers are desperate,” Engel said. “When you look at what’s changed [since Oct. 17], there’s been a lot of noise and interest in CBD.”

Two new variables will be introduced this year, as edible products and vaporizers launch in the fall — currently they are illegal in Canada under the Cannabis Act. Engels said Organism plans to launch vapes and a chocolate product, which could only add more production uncertainty. Vape hardware and accessories, for example, are almost exclusively produced in China and have been affected by the trade war between the U.S. and China. Engels said Organism has seen a “minor impact” from the continuing trade battle so far.
Because there are new products coming into the market and many provinces are still struggling to ensure there is adequate supply of what consumers actually want to buy on the shelves, there is an enormous amount of uncertainty for Canadian cannabis companies. Engel said that his team was not comfortable issuing guidance for the third quarter because there are too many variables, with brick-and-mortar retail sales getting under way in Ontario, as of April 1, and Alberta and Saskatchewan continuing to open new locations.
