For Massachusetts residents or visitors who want to try cannabis-infused ice cream, they are in luck.
Cloud Creamery is launching cannabis-infused ice cream in the state. The launch of Cloud Creamery’s cannabis-infused ice cream comes just as summer is about to begin.
“That’s what we’re trying to bring, the food, the chef’s side of things. There’s no food experience. It’s just a transactional pop a gummy and go on your way,” said David Yusefzadeh. “We’re going to try to bring in some really fresh exciting things that not only get the customers excited but they get the budtenders excited, they get the dispensary owners excited.”
Cloud Creamery received notice from the state Cannabis Control Commission last week to commence manufacturing operations. This week, the product is begun to be available at dispensaries including Bud’s Goods and Provisions in Worcester, Western Front in Chelsea and Caroline’s Cannabis in Uxbridge.
Yusefzadeh plans a gradual rollout of the product at dozens of dispensaries.
One of the goals with Cloud Creamery, is to bring traffic to small dispensaries, particularly those women- and minority-owned, said Yusefzadeh.
“We’re chefs. We want to support the small folks,” Yusefzadeh said. “We’re not selling at NETA. We’re not selling at Patriot Care. We’re not selling at Canna Provisions. We’re not selling at any of the big, what I call, the ‘Walmarts’ or the ‘Targets.’”
Cloud Creamery is starting with three flavors that include two ice creams: Tanzanian vanilla and dark chocolate truffle, and one sorbet, mango yuzu, which is dairy-free.
Yusefzadeh hopes to expand the selection of flavors.
The Cloud Creamery ice cream comes in an 8-ounce serving size, which contains 5 mg of THC.
“We aren’t making products for the current market. We’re trying to make products for the future market. We’re trying to bring people into the market,” Yusefzadeh said. “There’s people that want to try cannabis but are afraid of edibles and hadn’t really had a good experience necessarily and they want to find a brand they can trust.”
“It’s not about getting people super stoned,” Yusefzadeh said. “It’s about bringing relief to people whether it’s mental stress, physical stress or whatever else.”
