The growth of stores selling legal cannabis-related products, including through cannabis vending machines, is steadily increasing. On the international scene, we’re seeing the opening of stores of various types: from the simple grow shop, hemp shop, or pure weed shop, to the more equipped cannabis store, usually part of franchise chains or brands with international relevance. These stores display a wide range of product types in their equipped premises, all always linked to the cannabis world, also because they aim to appeal to the general consumer.

The Italian scenario is not much different. Although there has been a stuttering opening due to the complicated Italian legislative situation, finally resolved—and a second stutter due to the coronavirus lockdown—the cannabis store boom is in full swing, and a large quantity of products is now present throughout the national territory, and clearly also sold through legal cannabis vending machines.

Products based on hemp and derivatives such as hemp seeds, CBD oils, hemp flowers, alongside food products led by pasta and hemp-based condiments, cannabis energy drinks, and CBD snacks and beverages, all complemented by various merchandising ranging from classic accessories like rolling papers, lighters, pipes, and chillums, to t-shirts, caps, backpacks, and bags… in short, from classic hemp to food and even full clothing lines.

In some cases, the commercial offering that is standardizing on the “green” market decidedly aims to go beyond the hemp sector to reach a non-“typical” consumer of the sector. A choice that is catalyzing toward a product now seen as “rediscovered,” whose potential is widely indicated in various scientific studies in ways that go well beyond “classic” consumption.

But which are the best products to sell in legal cannabis vending machines? Let’s start by saying that the “queen” product is cannabis inflorescences, normally sold in 1g, 2g, or 5g packages. There are hundreds of types of female cannabis inflorescences on the market, produced by the best hemp companies and packaged so that hemp vending machines can hold the packages with the weight required by the market.

The second most popular product is no surprise: CBD-based hemp oils and extracts. The packaging is quite uniform, as they are produced and standardized in small, convenient bottles that easily fit in a pocket or bag. CBD oil packages are easy to sell from a cannabis vending machine.

Another product emerging on the market is CBD-based crystals used in cooking and highly appreciated for their interaction with our body during digestion, although many industry experts indicate that CBD crystals are very effective when vaporized between 140 and 180 degrees, where they release their full potential.

In fourth place in our ranking are Ecig liquids for electronic cigarettes with CBD content and cannabis flavor, which are used with the classic Ecig now found in many stores or in specialized electronic cigarette shops.

Cannabis beer and many hemp- and CBD-based drinks and snacks, the so-called edibles, have been among the latest to enter and become a significant slice of the legal cannabis economy, and they certainly couldn’t be missing from cannabis vending machines. Products with various packaging from cans to bottles to snack packaging that are consumed fresh and require a temperature-controlled vending machine not only during the summer heat but in all seasons.
