Daylight and Moonwave bring the first occasion-based cannabis beverage portfolio from Ace Valley to the Canadian market. Daylight, a zesty sparkling water provides a burst of uplifting citrus flavor with a hint of ginseng, offering 2.5mg THC and 5mg CBD, and is the perfect way to start the day.

With thoughtfully crafted, bold, natural flavours, these ready to enjoy beverages will be available in convenient 222ml cans.
As the CBD-infused edible market in Canada evolves, sales for CBD-infused candy have increased more than eight times in the past year1. With growing consumer demand, Ace Valley is introducing its first ever CBD-infused hard candy. Citrus Ginger Super CBD hard candies feature a unique blend of sugar-free citrus fruit flavour, with a light kick of ginger, and contain 20mg CBD and 1mg THC per candy. Sold in packs of 10, the Citrus Ginger Super CBD hard candies offer an on-the-go, easy-to-use format for CBD consumption.
“We’re thrilled to bring the first infused beverage and hard candy format to the Ace Valley portfolio which continues to delight Canadian consumers with its roster of premium, ready-to-enjoy products,” said Tara Rozalowsky, Interim Chief Product Officer. “We’ve developed our innovation pipeline to meet the evolving nature of how cannabis is consumed and the growing consumer demand for products used for different occasions and use cases.”
The new Ace Valley products build on the brand’s expansive lineup of thoughtfully curated THC and CBD-infused gummies, vapes, and pre-rolled joints. Daylight and Moonwave infused-beverages and Super CBD hard candies will be available for purchase in select markets via legal recreational cannabis retail locations and e-commerce channels.
